RV FEATURE
Flat Out International is a secondgeneration business that has been around for about 25 years – half of its core range is Australian-made. The Multi-Reel isn’ t a new product, though it has evolved over the years. Thousands of Australian vanners have already realised its benefit, as have tradespeople and others who simply wanted to improve their hose or extension lead situation at home. I’ m coming late to the party, but I’ m pleased to be here: the Flat Out Multi-Reel has been a game-changer. Highly recommend.
It’ s available in multiple colours and sizes to suit the length of your lead / hose. I found the Flat Out website to be very informative and transparent in terms of what the Multi-Reel can and can’ t do – it is worth a look if you’ re also hoping to improve your van’ s hose and lead situation.
TWIST-FREE HOSES AND LEADS
That’ s the Multi-Reel. It’ s Flat Out’ s most famous product, and now that I’ ve lived with it for a bit, I understand the appeal. But Flat Out also offers drinking water and sullage hoses specially designed for the reel and the RV lifestyle.
The 19mm‘ lay flat’ drinking water hose is also available in multiple lengths, from 7.5m up to 12.5m, with an important caveat: you can increase the length of the hose via a 2.5m extension. Because the Flat Out system is modular, you could even have a 20m drinking water hose by using a 12.5m hose connected to a 7.5m hose, though in this case, each hose would be stored on separate Multi-Reels. Flat Out supplies the various fittings you would need to securely connect two separate hoses.
The Flat Out sullage and drinking water hoses are far superior to the generic varieties that are commonly available.
