Four large wire nuts and the box is bypassed. Just leave some slack in the wire. But there are very few posts of random failures. Far more good reports of the protector saving the RV.

so you are recommending buying one without a built in, easy to operate,function, and plan on going out in the rain with 4 wire nuts, rather than flipping a switch?

Not exactly. Get the bypass switch. On unit or remote is fine. I thought all PI-EMS hardwire units had the bypass.

Anyway if the fail is so catastrophic that the bypass does not work then you will have to go out in whatever the weather conditions and bypass using the wire nuts. That is if you absolutely need immediate power. House battery should hold you for a bit unless you need air conditioning. Or just roll out but you still need to unplug.

My EMS is installed behind the main electric panel and is accessed from within the RV by removing the panel. Yes I would still have to tredge through the four feet of snow while it rains to get a screw driver from an exterior compartment. ;)
