      Thanks Joe. It is much better than lugging that heavy cord around. :) Safe Travels

    LOL, we are at Jolly Roger RV Resort in Marathon FL, and last week my 50amp plug looked a little jenky, and sure enough bad wires in the plug. So while the wife held down the pool, i put a new plug end on the cord. Glad i saw that,

    Great video, thanks. We have a cord reel and love it, except when the chain comes off.

    👊✊👍 Love the lower flag on the flag pole . Hopefully some liberal 🤬 didn’t get worked up about it. But you are in Texas so they are far and few between.🤙

    Thank you Aaron for thus video. I’m so glad that there was no worse damage from the wires. Glad you are all ok! Great job on that reel! Glad it’s working. That’s cute Tina and Maggie were playing in the water. Glad you all had something to do. How’s the reel holding up today compared to when you did the video?
    Hope you have a great night and weekend. And safe travels.

    Second comment; we have one on our Riverstone love it accept wise it had a brake on it when you get it reeled in it particularly un roll’s when you stop.

    • @JonesN2Travel
      @JonesN2Travel  2 года назад

      Hi Tony. This cord reel has a brake that stops it from unrolling on its own. I really like that it has that feature. Thanks for checking out the video and for following along. Safe Travels

    I should have given you a call Aaron, We're setup at Scottsbluff until we head for Elkhart. Neil told me you were leaving Elk City the day we went to Rapid to take care of renewing the registration on our vehicles and picking up mail. I'm guessing you'll take I90 across South Dakota on your way to Goshen. Hope to catch up with you at Elkhart next month

    I like your flag Aaron. That looks like the same cord reel that's in my 2020 DRV. Weird that they say it can't be installed.

    • @JonesN2Travel
      @JonesN2Travel  2 года назад +1

      Hi Frank. Thank you, I wasnt sure if anyone would really notice it. We like it too :) I think maybe DRV realized that people want cord reels so now its an option but apparently wasnt an option in 2017 for the JX450. Still not sure why LOL Thanks for checking out the video and for following along. Safe Travels

    Aaron, great video. We have an older NH that the previous owner removed the cord reel. He complained that they were junk and did not last over a year. He replaced it twice then did away with the power cord reel completely. The reel motor kept giving out on him. I think he thought that the reel would drag the cord in by itself. I have heard that it is best to guide the cord in so you do not burn out the motor. What brand was the cord reel you installed? That looks like I could get it in where the reel was on our 5th wheel. Thanks
    👍

      Hi Benny. Thanks for checking out the video and for following along. We had a cordreel in our Bighorn fifth wheel and it worked flawlesly for the 3 years we owned it. I purchased the 50AMP Shoreline RV Power Cord Reel RL54 Southwire. I purchased this one used on Ebay, came out of a totaled 2021 fifth wheel, for about half the price of new. Hope that helps.

      Hi Stpehen. We're not sure yet if the deisel prices will hamper our travel plans for the summer. We are planning a fairly heavy travel load so I guess we'll wait and see. Thanks for checking out the video and for following along. Safe Travels

    @danjohnson7767 2 года назад +1

    If you would had a Progressive Ind EMS would that have caught the error? You would think DRV would have secured the wire coming over the frame. I like the flag also.

    • @JonesN2Travel
      @JonesN2Travel  2 года назад

      Hi Dan,
      I'm sure the EMS would have noticed the amp draw but not sure it would have been high enough to trip anything. Thanks for checking out the video and for following along. Safe Travels
