Design Features

When beginning with the initial design it became important for our Engineering department to determine the specific features and designs needed by those that commonly pull trailers. The items listed below represent their findings:

Which would you rather have?

The device was developed to protect against:

1. Contact with low lying brush or surface debris.
2. Damage caused by dragging wires.
3. Damage caused by exposure to weather and/or water.
4. Unnecessary stress and strain on wires when connected incorrectly.
5. Damange caused to loose and unprotected wires.
6. Damage caused by incidental contact with the wires.

Benefits of the Product:

1. Keeps the wires within reach at all times.
2. Shields and protects the wires when not in use.
3. Eliminates slack keeping the wires from dragging the ground
4. Weather/water resistant.
5. Does not require brushes or contacts that corrode.
6. Reduces the need for continual repair of the wires.
7. Has numerous mounting configurations.
8. Easy to install / Easy to use / Affordable.
9. Three (3) Year Satisfaction Guarantee on materials and workmanship.

Design Specifications:

1. The devices body housing is made of a poly alloy (ABS) material blend and mixed with UV inhibitors chosen for its durability to the weather extremes and giving it an added protection and resistance to the types of damage commonly caused by the sun (i.e. drying/cracking/fading).
2. The spring chosen is stamped in stainless steel making it water resistant and rust/corrosion proof. In addition the spring has a (5) lbs. tension pull setting, making it strong enough to keep the wires off of the ground, but to weak to unplug the connectors of the truck and trailer when in use.
3. The device does not use any contacts or brushes, the device makes all of the electrical connection through one continuous loop of wire configured using a “Transversing Wire Loop,” to remove any unnecessary stress or tension on the existing wires during use.
4. The devices are molded in just one color (BLACK) unless a special order is placed requiring a full production run.

Product Diversity:

The diversity of our product line offers the ability to sell to the customers as an after market device or as a manufacturer’s feature item. In addition our customer’s may chose to consider “The Reel-Deal as a special order item hard wire mounted directly onto the trailer as part of the single source wiring configuration from the lights to the connecting plug.

In the competitive field of trailer sales, what makes one more desirable than the next?
• Superior quality,
• Superior price, and/or
• Special and unique features that can not be found on the competitor’s equipment, that really works!

Numerous Mounting Configurations:


Trailer Tongue Top Mount

Truck Mount

Dual Mount

Trailer Tongue Bottom Mount

Trailer Frame Mount

Trailer Tongue Side Mount

Mounting Recommendations:

When mounting the device it is not necessary to splice or cut the pre-existing wires, causing damage to the integrity of the electrical connection. Instead the excess wiring can be secured by attaching a clamp or bracket to contain the pre-existing wires to the bottom of the vehicle (trailer or truck frame).

100% Satisfaction Guarantee:

All of "The Reel-Deal" devices have a 3-year satisfaction guarantee on all parts and workmanship. If at anytime the device fails or becomes unable to perform as designed, please return the product to the location purchased, for refund or replacement.
