Hi, as some of you know I built my 3.3 metre long van myself and registered it last January. In April we drove around Oz towing it with our Hyundai i30. All went well on the quick 14 week trip.

Kinks blow out when full of water but impossible to roll up on either a reel or in a bag without kinking again. Recently I purchased a flat hose on a windup reel. Worst van acc...
