I have an older motorhome and I am looking for a easy organized way to store my water and power cords when not in use while traveling. Yes, I can just curl them up and throw them in the basement, but I am using that method and it's not working for me. I don't have enough room to hang them. The worst one is the 50amp power cord.

I curl mine up into milk crates. I also toss any attachments into the crate. When I get to my site I pull out the crate, and use what I need.

I measured the size of each basement and then bought plastic storage bins with lids. I have hoses in one, liquids in another, and my Camco blocking in another. I need to get one more that will go in where my spare tire is for water & oil filters, screws, duck tape, etc so they are not just bouncing around loose. I like lids because I can then put stuff on top of the containers and it is not getting lost in what I have inside.

I cut a five gallon bucket down to size (store in smaller storage compartment) that allows me to curl the hose inside. I can put the filter and pressure requlator in the middle of the curl. The bucket contains any leakage.

Hi,I bought one of these--have not had a chance to try it yet, but I'm hopeful it will solve some issues.Quick Winder

When you don't have room in you bays for putting them in the bucket this works great for storing hoses and cords and then you can stack them on top of each other and they don't unwinds etc.I use these for ALL my hoses, extension cords and power cords. The best part is the 'handle' so you can carry them to where you need them without them unrolling. AND it ratchets so it fits tight around any size stuff your working with. And releases with a just a flip of the lever.http://cableclamp.com/
