About Flat Out
The Original Caravan Water Hose Reel and Tangle-Free Storage Solution
At Flat Out, we’re all about keeping life on the road simple, tidy, and tangle-free. Born from a real frustration on a family camping trip, our caravan water hose reel was the first of its kind in Australia — and it’s still leading the way over two decades later.
Founded by Peter and Lenie Van Mill, Flat Out began with one goal: to design caravan gear that’s compact, practical, and built to last. Today, under the direction of Zoe Van Mill, we continue to innovate for caravanners, campers, tradespeople and travellers who want premium, no-fuss gear that works every time.
Flat Out Multi-Reel™ — Smart Storage for Hoses, Leads, and Cables
Our signature Flat Out Multi-Reel™ is the heart of our range. Tough, compact, and proudly made in Australia, it keeps your caravan water hose, caravan sullage hose, caravan extension lead, AV cables, network cables, and more neatly stored, clean, and ready to roll.
Designed for caravan, RV, trade, home, and entertainment setups, the Multi-Reel protects your gear, prevents tangles, and saves valuable storage space — whether you’re touring Australia, setting up for a gig, running power on a worksite, or keeping your home garage organised.
Caravan Sullage Hose — Clean, Compact, and Australian Made
Our caravan sullage hoses are Australian-made and built for reliable grey-water disposal. Made from durable, lay-flat material, they roll neatly onto your Multi-Reel and automatically expand for easy drainage. The smooth interior helps prevent build-up, while end plugs stop leaks and odours during storage.
Whether you’re on a long trip or parked up for a weekend, our RV sullage hose design makes setup quick, storage compact, and pack-down simple.
Drinking Water Hoses and Caravan Extension Lead Reels
Pair your reel with our drinking water hoses — including AS4020-certified options — for clean, taste-free water at every stop. We also offer caravan extension lead reels and high-quality imported leads that stay flexible and tangle-free in all conditions.
We support Australian manufacturing wherever possible. Some of our products are imported, as these items were not available to be made locally — but all are designed and tested to meet the same high standards of performance and reliability.
Built for Travellers, Tradies and Adventurers
Every piece of Flat Out gear is made with purpose — tested in the field, refined for convenience, and trusted by travellers, tradespeople, boaters and musicians across Australia and beyond.
We’re proud to deliver dependable caravan accessories and RV setup gear through both Flat Out Australia and Flat Out USA, helping people everywhere enjoy smoother setups and tangle-free adventures.
Less tangles. More adventure. That’s life, Flat Out.
