No worries, locating your portable EMS inside your camper works fine BUT you should be aware of a couple of potential drawbacks, one fairly obvious, the other not so much. Depending on exactly where you locate your EMS inside the rig you may not be able to readily see the display and 2) the contactor inside can sometimes hum loudly enough to be heard but again that would depend on where it's located. Mine is under my sofa so I've taken steps with my current hard wire EMS to solve this ... located inside a cabinet this would be less of a concern.

The OP says he has a portable surge protector so if he wants to install it inside his rig of course he will have to add connectors that will plug into his unit - one male, one female. I did just this a few years ago in my own trailer when I installed a portable TRC EMS and located it under the sofa. Since mine was a 30 amp version I used matching 30 amp TT-30 connectors, obviously those with a 50 amp version would need to use TT-50 connectors.



The only comment I would add is that hopefully when the OP said "surge protector" what he really means is he purchased an EMS w/surge protection as a surge protector alone, while useful, won't protect his rig from the many vagaries of incoming source power as will an EMS.

Mine has been outside 14 years and never stolen.
