How do you protect your surge suppressor
I read recently in Trailer Life magazine about someone that had a surge suppressor go bad because it got wet. So what do you do if anything to protect your surge suppressor from the weather? Thanks i...

I installed a hardwired unit. Stays dry, unless the closet leaks :B
The ammo box seems to be a good solution for cord connections, but my favorite I read on here is the portable unit installed as a permanent unit.
Cut the cord INSIDE the trailer. Place a male plug on the supply side, place a female plug on the "trailer" side. This is backwards. Male on "trailer" side, plugged into female on surge protector, which then takes male plug into newly installed female plug on supply cord.Once plugged in...your surge protector is essential permanent in a dry space.
I am not sure how it can be monitored, but it will still protect.
Edited myself...didn't mean to double post. Think I will leave it, so the mistake is easily seen.
