Aftermarket 50A electric cord reel

Has anyone added an aftermarket 50A cord reel to their 5er? My dealer said they could add one from Shoreline Reels for around $1,100. It would be hard wired to the camper and have electric cord retrieval. I would only have to unreel the amount I would need when I hook everything up.

They also said they could install a reel that had a detachable cord for about $600. but I would have to unreel the entire cord whenever I wanted to use it. Again, it would have electrical cord retrieval.

My electrical connection is at the back of the camper and the hookup panels are generally midship. I have enough cord to run between the two and seldom have more than 2 or 3 feet left over, but the thing is just so unwieldy to coil up and have look nice for when I put it back in the basement. (Yes, my OCD is probably an issue here, but it's easier to live with OCD than fight it!)

Does anybody have any experience with anything like this? Any suggestions for the cord reel?
