How to keep dog bone dry (electrical)

Hello everyone,

I am new to owning a motorhome and this may seem like a super simple question but interested in hearing what everyone does. When you need to use a dog bone, or maybe two, how do you keep them dry in the rain. These will hang down from the electrical box exposed to the elements.

I was thinking of wrapping them in saran wrap but is there a better way?

Thanks,

Stuart

  • As long as they are in good condition and plugged in tightly, you don't need to keep them dry. They are exterior devices.

    The only thing I do is make sure that the actual metal parts of the plug are dry before you plug it in. Of course, if at all possible, avoid plugging them in when it's actually raining but once they are plugged in, no worries...
