Have you guys ever used one of these??

I just picked one up. I'm not affiliated with this company, I'm just sharing my experience because it really makes the job a whole lot easier! It's a crankless water hose reel that runs off of the power of water. It's moderately light weight and fits in the back of the van very easily. You just take the box with you, hook it up to the water supply and roll it out to your truck. Then when you are done you unhook it from your truck and put the flip the switch on the box and it rolls the hose up by itself.

I picked one up at home depot for about $85 but it's well worth it in my opinion especially after the strain of rolling up your high pressure and vacuum hose. It hold 100 ft. of hose too.
