- This is a short video on the repair of my intermittent shoreline reel, It is a 50 amp reel and sometimes just for a second one line would drop power. Chased the problem but could not duplicate. Transfer panel had been changed a couple of years earlier so was confident it was not that. Taking the reel out of the compartment made the repair rather straightforward. The repair could be done in two hours or less.

So did cleaning the contacts fix your problem?
The jury is still out. I am not positive it did. But since we fulltime and the thing is connected 24/7 it gives me peace of mind knowing it is in great shape now and should last the lifetime of the RV. Thanks for watching. I hope the video helped in some way. It was not that hard to do. A couple of hours. And I did not have a video.
@@myrontruex4196 Yea it was very helpful to see how it was constructed. Thank you
Im having a problem that one of my legs in the connector plug has melted. At first i replaced the original monaco 50 amp male end. It seemed fine when i cut it open after installing a new one. Just this past weekend while in melbourne florida in 87 degree heat using all 3 a/c's all was good until i went to unplug from my watchdog surge protector the male end was stuck in the female end of the surge protector. only one prong overheated. It was the left slot that melted. Could this have happened from the reel? Did i have a bad connection at the pedestal?
The reel could not have been the culprit. Heat is produced when current passes through a resistance. The resistance is often the socket with just too many pits from folks plugging in and out without turning the breaker off. However, these plugs themselves need to be clean and shiny. I like to use a tiny bit of dielectric grease on them to make the insertion much easier. You should feel how the plug is being held in. As suggested on the RV forum where you asked the question, your plug pins can be twisted slightly to help make a tighter connection. Then as a PM you should feel the plug daily to insure you are not overheating them. That said, I have replaced my plug a few times. They get some serious abuse. We live in Central Florida and know the AC units need to be used 24/7. I do suggest while the AC's are not running that you run the reel cord in and out a few inches to exercise those contacts too.
