Electric cord reel revisited

[1231ChaseB]

Early this summer i put in a garden hose reel for my 50 amp electric cord ! I noticed that it was starting to sag and didn't like the look's of it ! So yesterday i took my 20% off coupon to Harbor Freight and got this air hose reel WITHOUT air hose for 16 dollar's and it's perfect and very solid !

Looks great! How does it mount?

It screws to the floor or wherever you want to mount it ! I believe the base is 7 inch's wide and there's already 4 holes for the screw's ! I drilled another hole in the side of the base and also screwed it to the wall ! Can't beat it for 16 dollar's

Wish I would have seen this before I bought the one from Moryde at the Gillette Rally, I paid a whole lot more than $16!!!!!

Ron,

That looks great. I have a 50' 50A extension made with SO cord I would like to have a place to keep it out of the way until it's needed. Thanks for the idea.

Is this using a standard 50 amp cord that the RV came with? Ours seems much more bulky and I'm not sure it would wind that tightly.

That looks like a good idea!!!

The cord you see in the pic is the monster 50 amp cord ! Heavy as all get out ! It just screws to wherever you set it !

I am liking that. How do you secure the end to start winding it up? Hard to tell from pic.

Nice setup-Mine is on the electric reel and you have to be very careful to wind it right or it does not fit and you have to rewind it. I think an auto feeder with a bigger reel would work better on the factory setup.

I use a small velcro strap to secure the end to the reel before i wind it up ! Did it a couple times to get the other end where i wanted it and have the handle up high when i was done !
