The PT, you have to drag it out and plug it in, and if someone decides "I need it more than HE does".. Well........
The HW, you install and "Forget" for the most part. since it is hidden INSIDE it's out of sight, and out of the thief's mind. (And reach)
Link to that documentation if you don't mind. I like the portable because I can use it between more than one RV and it does have a lock ring.
Or, you can carry a 25/30 foot 30A extension cord, and plug the hard wired RV shore power cord into the portable EMS PT30X, and lock it inside your lockable power cord bay, and then run the 30A extension cord from the now hidden input side of the surge protector, to the campground power post. Your portable EMS PT30X is INSIDE the lockable power bay compartment, and out of the thief's mind there, too.
