Velcro is available in double sided rolls of about 15 metres.I used to use it in the communications industry for bundling cables in a past life,now i use it for keeping hoses and power cables in rolls instead of a tangled mess.The velcro can be stapled or glued to a surface,so you attach items to it .Because its doubled sided,you just cut off the length you need and wrap it around the item .It comes in different widths for different jobs.Available from electrical wholesalers.

we use it for every cord or hose or similar we have in the van, even the toaster, the hair dryer, the tv cords.....

I bought 4 metres of the double sided velcro last year at the camping store in Echuca. So handy when things need tying together and kept tidy.

I bought mine at Clark Rubber, use it as extra support for my roll out awning arms when travelling and also as ties for my curtains...

Lucky for that, have you seen the prices they charge now especially for the double sided stuff, I bought mine from Clark Rubber and it wasn't cheap, depending on the width, mine was about two inches wide and around $10 a metre. I do believe you can get it cheaper at other places, but CR were the only ones I tried....

Paid nothing like that at the camping store in Echuca Duh. I bought 4 metres as it was so cheap. Doubt it was 10.00 for the lot. Could be wrong as it was a while ago but sure I wouldn't have bought that much if it was that expensive.
