    Backhoe Joe.....

    I have a 2007 Tiffin Phaeton and have a broken water hose reel. I drilled out the rivets and found the same issue everyone has been talking about...a broken small gear (See picture). I have a Shoreline model RVW5003. From what I have read on this thread, the replacement gear will fit my reel. Please contact me at (805) 610-1523 or email Captain745@att.net if you are able to get me a replacement gear. Just let me know the cost for the part and shipping.

    Thanks in advance, Bill

    Seems BackhoeJ (John) has not been online since November. I hope all is well with him.

    I also want to send a big thanks out to tkas01 for his repair narrative with great explanations and pictures.

    Here's the link to his narrative: http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/26336645.cfm

    Thanks for letting me know you appreciated the instructions and found them helpful. I watch this thread with interest and continue to be amazed at how many people are being able to repair their reels. Not good for the reel manufacturers, but good for all of us! I guess this could go on for years!

    For Shoreline cord reels, it seems they have perhaps changed hands and no longer provide replacement parts. I found a private party that was able to provide a custom-made gear and got the job done. I documented it at the URL below and hope others can benefit from my experience. Silly to toss the entire reel due to a tiny failed gear.

    I am so happy to have stumbled upon this thread. My Shoreline reel stripped its gears last year and I called the manufacturer who told me the unit was obsolete and no parts were available (as mentioned earlier).

    I sent a PM to BackhoeJ - hope to hear back so I can get some replacement gears! Its a shame to have to toss the whole assembly just because of some broken gears.
