electrical cord

having a terrible time getting the cord back into the little hole thing that it comes out of
how's that for a description!

the 30amp cord has a little box thing on the side of the Rv that it stores away in, so no problem pulling it out to plug in but when leaving site that thing can take
10-15mins to get back in there. talking about a 2010 coachmen freelander.

thanks- EM
  • If you actually have a 5x5 hole just put a 180* bend in the electric line and put the "U" in the hole and push. When that runs out put in another "U", etc. Mine goes in a 1 inch hole and I have a time getting it in. Sometimes I have to pull out 2-3 feet and try again.
  • There is one advantage of the "mouse-hole" -- if you want to run another 15-20 amp device, you can thread another extension cord through that hole so you can have another electric heater.

    Of course, there are advantages of cutting it off and putting a male plug on it. The "mouse-hole" does attract vermin, so sealing it off is one less place critters can get in.

    If you do put a male plug on it, make sure you get a marine grade connector and do it right, so it isn't a place water can enter.
  • if I'm understanding ur question, no. it's just a 5x5 box, that is very deep, with
    a door u close when not in use.
  • Try, Wiping it down with silicon lubricant. Follow up with dry towel.
