MOR/STOR Electrical Cable Winder/Storage

Has anyone got one of these and if so what's your opinion?

Don't have one, but for those in the know ... is this just a windup device or do you splice it into the power cable somewhere and then do you have to cut a hole in your storage compartment floor to use it??? I agree the 50 amp cable is a brute sometimes, but I usually just wind it up in a loop and drop it in the truck bed when traveling.

it is just a windup device. You put the power cable in then wind it up and just pull it out and plug into the power center and rig. Works great and easy to use

I think that's the trick. If you have a good place to mount it, it would be handy. The only place I'd like to put it doesn't have room for the winding handle to work so I've passed on it the last two years.

Nah... it would be nice but my cord is always plugged in and it is no big deal to throw in my compartment for a while till I get to the next resort

It's OEM on a SOB. Can't say which one cause I''ll get my hand slapped with a ruler.

I can see the value of it, but I really cannot spare the room that it would take up. In the bed of the pickup seems to be a good solution, but again, the space factor would probably prevent me from using anything like that. If the anaconda ever becomes cumbersome, I guess I would have to pawn that off as another responsibility for DW???? Ouch, that is going to leave a mark!

I hate the power cord! Just having multi level back fusions (5) I can't deal with it anymore! At every single park on my recent trip across country, the Parks staff "hooked me up"! I just explained my problem and everyone helped! I tried to give them a few bucks, but not many takers. KOA Parks would actually send someone for all my set up/tear downs! Very nice service for those of us with medical problems! I just don't have room for that monster box. Perhaps if factory equipped, it would be ok?
