About Flat Out

An Australian Innovation

While on the road, founders Peter and Lenie Van Mill became frustrated with the way water and sullage hoses worked in their motorhome. This led to a study of many products and consultation with fellow travelers. By 2001 they had designed and brought to market the Flat Out reel and hose system, making traveling life a whole lot easier.

More than 2 decades on, Peter and Lenie's legacy remains within the family, now managed and directed by Zoe Van Mill. She continues the established focus on high quality production and customer service – providing Australia’s most compact and user friendly caravan hoses and reels.

In this video, you can meet product designer Peter Van Mill. This video was made in 2007 so product dimensions and tips are a little out of date, but we feel it's nice for you to see the inventor himself demonstrate the products.
