My first EMS was a TRC portable unit I hard wired into the trailer, locating it under the sofa so weather and the potential for theft were never an issue. I've since replaced it with a Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C hard wire that is similarly located under the sofa. Those that prefer a portable unit can easily mitigate the weather / theft issue by plugging an extension cable into the campsite power post, running it back to the camper where the portable EMS can be located under a slide or body of the trailer where it's out-of-sight, out-of-mind and also protected from the elements.
