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).

Yes, Greydennyhawk, it is best to unwind all the cord from the "mouse hole". I solved that issue by cutting off the shore power cord and putting on standard male and female 30 amp RV ends. I keep my cords elsewhere.
Leaving the shore power cord coiled can cause it to heat. It does depend on how heavily it is being used.
All the 30 amp cords but one are now made from all weather freeze proof wire. It sure makes life a lot easier.
