Do all/most Beaver coaches have a power reel? I think ours has a powered device that pulls the cord in and out, but the cord doesn't roll up on a reel. I think our cord coils into a bucket on the rear, street side on the outward side of the engine. Just wondering...
I found that giving the cord a half twist clockwise every four feet or so when being pulled in helps the cord coil more easily down into its resting position in the bucket. I also lift the cord so the powered device doesn't have to work too hard, and use a small towel to clean the cord as it's pulled in.
