Attached to the RV like an umbilical cord, the white water hose is an RV essential. These hoses are white because they stand up to ultra violet radiation and it prevents you from accidentally using a contaminated hose. I carry green hoses for cleaning out the sewer and washing the rig. Before I used Coil n’ Wrap my hose would twist and kink. Now I can roll it up quickly and easily for a neat uniform coil that fits perfectly in my storage compartment. The package comes with instructions or you can watch my video below. Put the Velcro strap on the female side of the hose. Insert the male end through the smaller of the holes in the rubber keeper and slide it back 3 or 4 feet on the hose. Make a coil and insert the male end through the keeper to hold it in place. Use a hand over hand technique to roll the hose into a coil. Screw the ends together and then wrap the Velcro strap around the coil to secure it for storage. You can purchase these from Coil n’ Wrap.

Cute gadget. But is still leaves the hose "wound up" so that, if you simply pull it out, as opposed to carefully unrolling it, it will tend to kink.
For snarl-free coiling of hoses AND power cables, coax cables, (mooring lines!), etc., use the standard electrician's and boater's trick:
Form the first circle twisting the line a full turn in one direction (e.g., clockwise). Form the next circle twisting the line a full turn in the opposite direction. Then the next one in the other direction, and so on, until it's entirely coiled.
The result is not kinked nor snarled. But more importantly, it can be quickly and easily pulled-out - or even thrown in the direction you want it to go! - without getting tangled. It will lay flat and be entirely unkinked!
