Power Cord Reel Question

I can't tell you the exact length, but it's long.
The cord wraps around the reel. That's why it's called a cord reel. No loose cord.
Yes it is wired into the unit.
I have one and I think it is a great option.
If not getting the power reel, you will have a big heavy roll of wire to handle and store.
Peace

Mine was a loose cord that you put on a reel in the storage a big waste of space IMHO not unless you are talking about something else . It's a waste I took my reel out as soon as I got home ,it was all you could do to wind up the cord on the reel ,I just roll it by hand and put in the back of the truck ⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️
Snow brought up an interesting thoughtIt sounds like there is a power cord reel and a power reel.I am talking about a power reel. Push a button and the cord winds on the reel.Be sure to clarify what type of reel is available to you.
On edit, I just checked on the Heartlandrvs web site and the option listed for the Big Country is the manual crank cord reel.

If the option is a manual reel, that may still be something to think about. Check to see if the included cord is the "SO" version. That is the flexible outdoor cable, unlike the base model "Anaconda" wire.
If it is the hardwired electric reel the cord should be 33' long IIRC. That length is set by RIVA based on the height of the inlet off the ground.

If some one needs a manual crank cord reel out of a 2014 Big Country . I took ours out and it's sitting in our garage. I can make you a reel "sweet deal". sorry I couldn't resist....

Personally, I think the manual reel works pretty good. I can spin up the cord in a few seconds. Would I rather have a powered cord reel? Sure. If I ordered a new RV would I add the power reel option? Probably. But this came on mine, I use it, and think it works pretty good. Thats despite the dealer telling me it was for a water hose during PDI, and that there is no way the power cord would fit on it. Of course, they also told me I had to take the basement wall out to winterize the unit. However, in general I would include most of the options available if I were ordering a new RV.
