Just wondering if anyone has used one of these hose reels on their water trailer?
I am thinking of upgrading to one of these for my trailer and would like to hear how they have worked for other owners.

Works great. Used one for 5 years now. 40' of 3" hose. Buy one with the stainless swivel as my steel one corrodes more every year. Have to change the orings twice a year now it seems but not a hard job. Take in the remote controller to somewhere dry and warm over the winter as I had to replace mine this spring. Definately worth the investment in time and body work saved.

Have the 3" hose reel. I really like it. Works great. The electric motor option is also nice. 3 years of use with mine and have not had to do anything to it.

Thanks for the information.
I thinking that I would want the stainless steel swivel. A little more than $100 as an option over the mild steel on a new reel but over $400 to buy as a replacement part.
