tkcas01 Report post Posted October 24, 2012 Are you talking about this? http://www.trci.net/products/shoreline-reels/accessories/rc04d01-remote-control-for-rv-marine I didn't know there was such a thing. Surely the manufacturer can help you find one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowellML Report post Posted November 19, 2012 I also have the shoreline power cable in my 2005 Allegro Bus. Instead of the gear drive failing on mine, it was the brushes on the commutator. They were sticking in the brush holder and became pitted so bad from arcing that they got hot and stuck in the holder. Failure was having only a single phase from shore power on 50 amp service. I contacted the manufacturer and they no longer make my model and the only repair kits they sell are for the gear replacement. I searched the internet and found the following company that makes brushes that fit with only being shortened from 0.75 inches to 0.50 inches. Cleaned and polished brush holder and used old springs from original brushes since they had more travel. Also cleaned and polished commutator. The company is Helwig Carbon Products, Inc. 8900 West Tower Ave, P.O. Box 240160, Milwaukee, WI 54224-9008. (414) 354-2411. Part number 30003675022601. Cost was $15.66 each. I ordered 6 so I would have two spares. Total cost was $93.96 plus $11.90 shipping for total of $105.86. Lot cheaper than buying a new unit and I have been using the reel for over a year now with no problems. We are full timers, so it gets lots of use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tigerpa Report post Posted January 22, 2013 Backhoej, I have the same problem as many others. My cord reel stopped working. I hear pcs/parts spinning inside. Suspect its the little gear in side that is toast. Do you still have the replacement gears? If so, do you have paypal where I could buy one from you? Looking at trading in my 2006 Monaco Diplomat for a 2013 WInnebago Tour and want the 2006 fixed right before I trade. Don't want to leave that headache to anyone else. Please let me know. Regards, Tigerpa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave430 Report post Posted April 17, 2013 I'm having the same problem as several of you are having, but mine is the manual type of reel. When I turn the handle to wind up the cord, nothing happens. the handle turns but the inter workings do not turn the reel. Has anyone here repaired their manual type power cable reel? It is similar to this product http://a248.e.akamai.net/origin-cdn.volusion.com/dxylq.nruds/v/vspfiles/photos/CC50H01-2.jpg?1329399158. Thanks Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

backhoej Report post Posted July 21, 2013 BackhoeJ here. Hello all RVer's with electric cord reels, just for update, I still have some gear kits available. It's the small gear in middle that drives all the gears. The original gear is cast and brittle so it breaks. The new one is machined from solid stock.Thank You , John. BackhoeJ.

tbutler Report post Posted August 4, 2013 BackhoeJ, I just sent you an e-mail with my mailing info for a kit. I guess it had to happen. We got almost 10 years and 120,000 miles out of that little gear. I was lucky, just four feet of cord off the reel and when I went to pull it in just whirring, no pull at all, done, kaput! So I'm adding that to my list of things to repair... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
backhoej Report post Posted September 30, 2013 BackhoeJ here-- hi to al. Just to update on gear problem in shoreline reel. There was such a big response I had more gears made. Can't believe how inferior original gear is. Small gear in middle of big gears, weak link (See picture),So if in need give me a call. I also had a big problem with NoCold refer, put in an Amish made cooling unit, problem solved.
