Automatic Fresh Water Hose reel

My 2009 American Eagle which I just purchased has an electric automatic hose reel. I can not find the switch to reverse or roll the hose out to connect to city water. Does it only rewind the hose? Thanks.

Most hose reels only have retract. You have to pull the hose out.

You can not power out a hose. It is too flexible. It will just twist up on the reel and jam.

Or push a meatball around the plate with the spaghetti.

At 72 years old, I could give you one more example, but this is a family forum. Sooooo
