 bag for storing your hoses both water and grey water gday all dont know whether other people have done this before ,but my missus come up with the idea of using those green shopping bags to carry our water hoses.
all she did was sow the top of the bag shut then cut a "D" shape inverted on the front of the bag leaving a small flap on it ,then you simply feed the hose through the opening until its all in there and the you can stow it and not worry about it coming unwound in the boot .
regards
Fred

Re: bag for storing your hoses both water and grey water Hi everyone I put a 40mm pvc pipe under the full length of my van to slide my drain hose into it from the rear of the van ( i have drilled a 5/16 hole across the pipe to insert a bolt in to retain the hose while travelling. saves all the drips going into you tool box or boot and making everything else wet and smelly  On my drawbar i have mounted a garden hose reel which i fitted drinking water hose to .so when i pull up onsite i fit a twin connector to the parks tap and my hose to the other ,when leaving just wind up the hose and go.

That's what I have. The van end is "permanently" connected to the van beside an external tap (off-side of drawbar) with a snap-on.

Re: bag for storing your hoses both water and grey water I use the same green type shopping bags only mine are the cooler (freezer?) type with an inner lining that helps stop leaks, they have a zipped lid, I always give the hose(s) a good shake before packing away and so far this has worked well, I have 2 water hoses of different lengths (a 20m and a 10m) and have them in separate bags, the drain hose is short enough to fit in one bag.

Re: bag for storing your hoses both water and grey water Our sullage hose is stored/carried in two pieces of polythene pipe mounted under the van, no smells or water in the boot! The water hose we carry in a mesh open weave bag with a joiner inserted in each end this stops any water leaking out, result dry boot.

Re: bag for storing your hoses both water and grey water I found the need to use 50 mm pipe (rather than 40) as my hose fittings are bigger than 40 mm. I have permanent fittings both ends for joining. My primary connection has a 45 bend to reduce stress.
I also used the rear bumper for a short hose as often that's all that's needed in some parks.
