 ive got a lightweight gardiners reel with 100m microbore.is it better to have a fixed one in the back of the van or is it good to be able to take it out and point it in the direction you want it to go?

first day with van mount tomorrow!no more barrels!the trolley stays in the van from now on.kept 2 barrels and gave the rest to a neighbour as he grows potatoes in em cut in half!!

best wishes to you all

i think its much better to point it mate im able to point mine if it was fixed i just think it would be a nightmare

I prefer van mounted

Ive got mine fixed to a piece of board and a bolt coming up through the centre of the board, so it can swivel

Fixed - was falling over all the time before and i got sick of lifting it in and out

[Dave.]

Got mine fixed now - rarely have any problems.  I was thinking of adding one of those hozelock roller guides, but I like the sound of the swivel mounted reel h2ose

I take mine out and point it in any direction

I tried taking it out all the time, then thought I wud have a go fixed : and I must say I much prefer it fixed, you just have to get used to reeling it  in and out certain ways for certain situations. My next project is to make it swivel like H2ose and I think that will make things even smoother

fixed everytime.. my first year i lugged hose real in and out of van, it always fell over even when driving carfull, and it falles over when your neally 100mtrs away from van and you have to walk all the way back to set it up right again. Fixed it in place now and its wonderfull

Take it out  and lock the van.

Wasn't there a spate of thefts of window cleaner vans and their tools recently?
