Cord Reels
This article provides an operational overview of the shore power cord reel and switch.
Cord reels (when equipped) provide the ease and convenience of storing the shore power electrical cord in a
neat and compact space with the assistance of motorized retraction. On coaches equipped with a power cord
reel, pull out the power cord, and plug it into an appropriately rated electrical outlet. Make sure the power source is providing
the correct voltage before plugging in the shore cord.
To store the cord, disconnect it from the power source outlet. Remove the cord from the pocket in the compartment, and press
and hold the momentary switch to retract and roll up the power cord as needed. The switch is typically located on the cord
reel or on the compartment door.
This article provides brief operation instructions for a TRC Shoreline Power Cord Reel (Model: RH5)
TRC Shoreline Power Cord Reel Operation (Model: RH5)
This unit is designed with a clutch type drive to
allow direct engagement during retract and clutch
disengagement to allow for free spooling during release.
These features are controlled using the rocker switch
assembly MH2021, RV2100, or equivalent previously
installed.
To correctly operate the unit, follow the steps listed below.
If the unit does not perform according to the instructions
below, first recheck wiring for any issues
Motor Operation
1. Ensure power is being supplied by the 12 VDC
source.
2. Locate the switch installed. If using Southwire
switches, identify the label markings “RETRACT”
located at the top switch position and “RELEASE”
located at the bottom switch position.
3. To retract the cord back onto the reel, press and hold
the switch in the top “RETRACT” position until the
desired amount of cord is returned to the reel.
4. To release the cord from the reel, press the switch
MOMENTARILY in the bottom “RELEASE” position.
This unlocks the spool and allows for the cord to be
manually pulled to a desired length. DO NOT attempt
to pull cord from the reel without first pressing the
switch momentarily in the bottom “RELEASE” position.
Only a MOMENTARY press of the switch in the
“RELEASE” position will be needed. DO NOT attempt
to continuously hold the “RELEASE” switch position,
doing so will cause the cord to unravel on the spool.
Cord Operation
Use only approved applicable outlets.
Cord connector has a built-in Easy-T-
Pull handle for easy disconnect.
User Maintenance
This unit does not have any user
serviceable parts. The user can
perform periodic inspection of the cord
to insure it is still in usable condition.
DO NOT use if the cord is damaged.

Product(s): TRC 50 Amp 34’ Power Cord Reel w/Pigtail (Model:
RH54331RM, Newmar Part Number: 132025)
The energy management and auto generator start systems
work behind the scenes to monitor the power supply
and demand within the coach. The system is designed
to minimize the occurrence of tripped breakers for shore
power and the generator while heavy loads are being
used. The system turns off other loads temporarily while
heavier loads are in use and restores power when heavy
loads are turned back off.
When 50 amp service is available, no action is required;
however, 30 amp service (or less) requires setting the value
of incoming power to be selected.
Energy Management Systems
This article provides an overview of the energy management systems used by Newmar.
Whenever possible, connect coaches equipped with
50 amp shore power cord to 50 amp service, and
connect coaches with 30 amp shore power cords to 30
amp service accordingly. It is the best practice to avoid
using adapters and cheater cord devices.
NOTICE
!
Auto generator features may vary by coach model and
options. Most AGS systems start the generator if shore
power is unavailable and the HVAC system signals for
air conditioner operation. Many systems will also start
automatically if battery levels reach the preset values.
