Power fresh water hose reel, less than 7.5" wide?

October 04, 2021, 11:15:53 pm

My hose reel started leaking recently.  I have an older Glendinning 05501 hose reel, so I bought the current version of the same reel.  It's wider by an inch...too much to fit in the compartment.  8.25" wide.  The old one was 7.25" wide and I've got 7.5" max between the wall and power cord reel.

Is anyone aware of a 1/2", 35'+ power hose reel that is 7.5" wide or less?  Height would be limited to 16".

My only other option to keep this one is to replace the power reel with a new one that is slightly narrower...for $700!  Not trying to go that route.

Did you buy the entire unit or just reel and hose?

I had a leak in mine and Michael Sabia @ glendenning, told me about the change in size.
Passed by the facility , took the entire unit inside. he tested the motor put the new reel on and  it fit just fine.

I bought a whole new unit as the one in my coach was so old they don't offer replacement parts anymore.
