Had the same problem on my RV for my power cord, then I got my Northern-Lite camper. It may be hard to visualize, but the permanently attached power cord is in a box built into the side of the camper. I haven't measured it, but it's probably at most a foot wide, six inches deep and 6-8 inches high. But, here's what's sweet - ALL i have to do is push the cord back into the box and IT COILS AUTOMATICALLY! Then I just close and lock the outer door to the cabinet. It's so cool. And that electrical cord is probably a 25'cord!
So, I'm going to install similar boxes in my storage areas where I put my cords, hoses, etc. and use the same principle - pushing whatever back into the box will automatically coil it and the box will protect it. I'm sure I'm going to have to play around with sizes, but given how well it works on my NL camper, this will be a huge savings of work and space for me.
