I'm a mechanical guy and while I'm fairly electrical savvy I'm no expert.... but I've always figured it was induction....

so my question...
what keeps these cord reels in RV's from lighting up?

(I mean, like when the cord is only partially extended to an outlet close by)
I would guess that all of the thick, bulky and unbending insulation and wrap around it, is what keeps things from getting too interesting!
