Hardwiring a portable surge protector
Has anyone ever converted a portable surge protector into a hardwire one? Meaning, cut the plug ends off and connected it directly into the incoming lines inside (so this can not be stolen).

I did. Didn't like leaving that $200 thing out there for somebody to steal. Our trailer has a fairly big box with a locking door for the cable, so it was possible to cut the surge protector, do a swappy-change with its ends, and add it between the bitter end of the shore cord inside the box and the junction box that went to.
The surge protector can still be worked inside the box for pushing its two buttons. One thing though, years ago its green light quit working and I thought the thing was dead, but it turned out to be just the light burnt out.
