Coil n' Wrap® products promise to make quick, neat work of coiling hoses, cords, cables, and more.
Have you ever watched a camping neighbor open an RV storage compartment door to retrieve the TV cable and literally empty that compartment by yanking out every other piece of gear stowed in there? Leveling blocks, camp shovel, sewer adapter, lawn chairs, toolbox, front doormat, et al, come tumbling out, tied together with an umbilical of kinked TV cable that was coiled haphazardly and stuffed into the compartment.
As comical as that might seem, you'd be surprised at how often such scenes play out every day in the campground. And perhaps it's even happened to you. If you have ever struggled to find a neat, compact way to roll and stow a water hose or a heavy-duty extension cable, or anything else that coils, you owe it to yourself to seek out these nifty products from Coil n' Wrap®.

Cool Little Products! The RVDoctor Website Product Spotlight by Gary Bunzer http://www.rvdoctor.com
Just as I can appreciate the title of this article, which I liberally "borrowed" from the sales literature, I can equally appreciate the actual products offered by Coil n' Wrap®, from Surprise, Arizona. And what cool little products they are!
If ever you have struggled to find a neat, compact way to roll and stow a fresh water hose or a heavy duty 30-amp extension cable, or anything else that coils, you owe it to yourself to seek out these nifty products. Ever watch a camping neighbor open an RV storage compartment door to retrieve the TV cable and literally empty that compartment by yanking out every other piece of gear in there? Leveling blocks, camp shovel, sewer adapter, lawn chairs, tool box, front door mat, et al, securely connected in one long chain of supplies, tied together with an umbilical of kinked TV cable that was coiled haphazardly and stuffed into the compartment. As comical as that might seem, you'd be surprised at how often scenes like that play out every day in the campground. Or has it
ever happened to you?
Never more, thanks to the folks at Coil n' Wrap®. Designed for just about every type of coil-able accessory, every Coil n' Wrap® product guarantees a neat, compact package, every time. Permanently attached to the fresh water hose, extensions cords, air or propane hoses, television cables, etc., the Coil ItT device enables the user to choose the size of the loop desired and to quickly and compactly coil and secure any length of cord or hose. The smaller that first loop, the more compact the final package; the smaller the package, the easier to stow. All cords, hoses and cables remain twist-free, untangled and non-kinked; easily retrieved and ready for use at the next campsite. Makes you wonder why no one ever thought of this sooner.
Each Coil n' Wrap® product comes packaged with either a 12 or 18-inch Velcro ® Brand strap and the simple, but brilliant Coil ItT, a patent pending neoprene-like figure 8 of sorts that is the secret of why these inexpensive devices are so effective. With complete instructions printed on the reverse side of the packages, you will be able to form perfect, compact coils every time. There is a Coil n' Wrap® device available for water hoses up to 5/8" X 50', television cables up to 75-feet long, 16-gauge extension cords, 30-amp shoreline cables and 10-gauge cords and air/LP hoses.
Also available are a packaged pair of Awning Safety Straps, great for keeping those awning arm assemblies from rattling, (or worse), as you drive down the road or for securing any number of other items. A retractable phone/modem cord for those of you who can't live without e-mail while on the road is also uniquely packaged to look like a fish. The 8-foot cord fits all standard phone jacks and is perfect for traveling with a laptop.
Tired of attaching your TV cable by twisting and turning, seemingly forever, those fine-threaded connectors at the campground? Coil n' Wrap® offers a package of two TV cable quick-connects.
Another package contains an assortment of Velcro ® Brand One-WrapT buckle straps. A must for securing just about anything that doesn't fit into one of the pre-packaged Coil ItsT. These color-coded Velcro ® Brand straps come six to a package and are designed with the "hook" portion of the Velcro ® Brand on one entire side of each strap and the "loop" portion on the reverse. Attach one to the cords of power tools, stereo cables, speaker wires, appliance cords etc., and simply coil the cord and wrap the strap around itself. Each package contains one strap that is eighteen inches, two that measure twelve inches and three, eight inch straps.
My personal favorite offered by Coil n' Wrap® is the Heavy Duty Carry Strap. I use it for securing and carrying a bunch of extension cords or coiled lengths of rope at one time. Simply coil and secure each cord separately, using the Velcro ® Brand buckle straps, then loop the quick-release buckle through the centers of the coiled cords. The adjustable quick-release buckle enables the user to secure many cords of varying sizes. The easy to handle handle (no typo intended), is formed to the hand and is quite comfortable even when carrying five or six heavy cords bundled together.
Built into the heavy woven strap portion is an anodized grommet that enables the user to simply hang up the entire bundle when not needed. Keeps the entire bunch clean, dry and off the floor.
Think about it. No more tangled cords, kinked hoses, twisted ropes, broken conductors, bent TV antenna cords or knotted extension cables. These very practical products are quite cool indeed! A great gift idea for the RVer, camper, boater or outdoor enthusiast, Coil n' Wrap® products will most assuredly make your coiling and stowing tasks much, much easier.
