This is what I use. Saves space, effort, and time.

I use tubs from Walmart and they fit perfectly in the small compartment on the street side of the 3720.

I bought a MorRyde cord reel. Makes quick organized storage of the anaconda 50A cord. Hoses and misc. water regulators and plug in adapters, water filters and surge protectors are in a large tote I got at WalMart.

These are what I use, I carry the cord to the rear in it then use what I needed and leave rest coiled. Stacks nice in the bins under camper.

This is what I use on long trips as it keeps it out of the way.

Both water hoses and power cord/extensions are stored in my generator compartment hanging on hose hangers from Lowe's. Sewer hose in the sewer boom. Extensions in low profile Rubbermaid tubs.

I guess I'll buck the cord reel crowd ... I think "it " would take up too much room. I just coil the power cord in the back of my truck bed between campsites ... hang it in the garage over the winter. I use two regular plastic garden hose hangars from Walley World attached to the front wall of the main storage bay for my water hoses. Sewer hose goes in a PVC tube under my fiver (I got rid of the sewer arm that came on my fiver).

This is what I have for my cord. For my water hoses, air hose, tv cables and the adapters I install plastic peg board and hooks. Plastic peg board were 16"x16" squares from Home Depot. Installed them two high and 6 across. Work great.

Other than keeping it out of the storage as you do, the reel/cord takes up less room than other methods. Most important to me and some others is the ease of deploying and retrieving. Also, much easier to keep the cord clean by reeling and holding a rag around it. Different strokes...

Good discussion folks. The peg board was something I hadn't thought about using. I like the hose reels, didn't install them on our old camper due to $$ but may go ahead and drop the bucks on them with the new camper. But then again better tires, tire monitor and cushion hitch are higher priorities at the moment.....
Regardless, many thanks for the feedback! That is what makes this site so useful!

Ditto for dhuhn - Morryde cable reel for power cable and a garden hose reel for the water hose. Adding a 5 X 5 tube for the slinky. One more add I want to do, and I think I saw it on here, is broom hangers on the door or wall of the basement to hang the power adapters and my Progressive power EMS. Looked like a great idea to keep the stuff organized.

I do the same as "DieselGuy", I just coil the cord up and put it in the bed of my truck. Has worked great for the last 5 campers we have owned.
