How do you carry water hoses?

Holy Cow!! A moderator and I agree on something. The sun will probably come out this afternoon.

The latest MAGIC 3/4-inch hoses is showing me some interest for non-drinking hose use.

Thinking about getting a couple of those to see how they work. The earlier version 1/2-inch hoses did not work out for us.

I do like everyone here on here is saying - connect the ends together and throw into the pass thru storage or in the back of my truck bed.

I like the idea of carrying them in a tub of some sort. May look into that as well. Thats how I carry my chains...

We are off-road crazy folks that uses chains and come-along when needed.

Coiled and in a tupperware plastic bin. All my fresh water stuff (hoses, spare rubber washers, 90* fitting for inlet, water filter(s), pressure regulator, spare hose ends) goes in a large plastic bin.

All my holding tank drainage stuff goes in another similar bin with lid; slinky hoses, backwash attachment, 90* threaded fitting for sewer line, ect.

Store our's drained and the ends attached in a open Rubbermaid container. I leave the top off the container to prevent mildew.

I coil the hoses, connect the ends together to keep the bugs (if any) out, and toss them in the basement storage compartment.

To keep the inside of your potable water hose, screw the ends together. That dust, dirt and things can't crawl in there. We just carry it coiled in a locker and it stays just nice.

Drain, coil, attach ends together, throw into basement bin. Snap-together couplings on both ends, just push together.

I got a new 3 gallon (I think) bucket that's about 2/3's the height of a 5 gallon bucket but the same diameter, and coil the hoses up in it which are 4', 10' & 25' long.
They stay very clean and secure.
