Freshwater hose storage ideas

I hate to ask such a basic question that might seem stupid, but do you really camp at CG's that require 50' of freshwater hose to reach the connection?

That is going to be a big item to wrap up and store. I would think about where you camp, and estimate the longest you have remembered needing, and buy a shorter hose.

I can't say in 15 years of camping I needed a 50 ft hose to reach the water connection. But that is neither here nor there, just thinking outloud.

But I like someone's suggestion of a wreath storage bin. I know that doesn't help you as your hose is probably too big, but I just found a new idea! lol

another fan of the flat Handi-Hose I carry 3 50" , plus 1 25' reg white hose and 1 10" reg I camp a lot in state parks with electric only

It is interesting to see how much strain and effort some folks go thru on this deal.

Yep, this.

We have 2 x 25' hoses fastened together, coiled up, and then the open ends screwed together so they stay clean.

Milk Crates work great. Just google "milk crates". I use one for my power cord and extension cord and one for two 25' water hoses. The cords or hoses coil up inside and leave a open space in the middle for accessories.

Think re-useable cloth/fabric shopping bags. Readily available and probably have a surplus already.

Coil up the hose, connect the two ends, slip into the bag. Stand on edge or lay flat. Light weight bags do not take up any extra space. Convenient carry handles. Hoses organized and keeps the white hose white - no ugly rub marks on the outside of the hose. KISS.

Need some ideas on a NEAT way of storing my 50' fresh water hose. Would like something I could store it in, and remove the hose and storage "device" from compartment.Thanks in advance.

I have bought every contraption and have thrown them all out. They either didn't work, where hard to handle or they took up too much storage bay space. I do sporting events where shore power is sometimes over a hundred feet away so I carry 'many' rolls of 100 ft hose and several 30 amp extension cords.

MEGA CUFF, the only way to go! Roll up electrical cords, hoses and clamp on the cuff, its' adjustable for tight fit and it has a handle to carry it. You now can lay all your cords and hoses 'flat' on top of each other in the bay.






Many hardware stores are now carrying Mega Cuffs in stock.

Take a 5 gallon plastic bucket and cut it down to the size needed for the hose(s) you carry. Just coil the hole into the bucket.

I have a 25 foot hose, 15 foot hose and a 10 foot hose. I use quick connects on all of my water hoses.

I bought a good 50' hose and cut it into 22', 15', 10' and 3' lengths. I put a metal disc on each piece with a cable tie and labeled each length. Rarely do I need anything longer than the 15 footer but easy to add appropriate piece. I hookup the ends to each section and store in a compartment. The tags make it easy to grab the right length.

I also carry rollup flat hose, but use only to fill my tank when I need the extra length. They wear out easily and will burst in the sun if left out.

I only buy 25 footers up front. Yep they will screw together.

For storage, I coil them up and toss in the basement as the last items. Then they are the first ones out and usually get tossed on the ground until it is time for use/ hooking them up.
