Electric hook up reel

Just a quick note Most caravan EHU cable connectors are rate as IP44

"An IP44 rating means that your product will be protected from solid particles that are over 1mm in size and from low velocity sprays of water from every direction." https://www.electricalcounter.co.uk/what-is-ip44

I have only found a 25 m cable not enough once on a site in France and used two. I was wary of the joint and hung it above ground and had no problem but it was not wet so I am not going to say it was the answer but the best I could do on the day.

Over the years I have tried many different reels but have now finally given up, don't see the point when the cable has to be fully unwound.
I just pull it through a microfibre cloth a length at a time and let the loops fall over my left hand, then tie with a cable tie and job done.
Easy and quick

I did a similar thing but used Velcro tape to retain the cable. That can be reused many times.

Never used a reel. Wind by hand and store in a “Bags for us “ bag.Always fully unwind.

Winding up or unwinding a cold cable is a pain, not too bad in the warmer summer months, so I have my first cable on a reel.

We have used a reel for many years as it easy and simpler than rolling up over my arm and also a lot cleaner.
