Hard wire surge protector

[Flyer32RLS]

Lantley,
I understand your point. It is a coin toss as RocDr said but I don't have a cord reel so I have to put the cord away anyway. I have a circular basket that I store the cord in. It is wound so that I only take out what I need to reach the pedestal. I store it in the front compartment. I take it out, the surge protector is laid on top. Hook up the surge protector, check the power, turn it off, connect the cord and well.....about half the time I walk inside to turn on the air and forget to turn on the power!! I am getting old so I blame that!! LOL.
It really is not a big problem for me. Like i said, if I have to buy another protector down the road, I might switch but right now, for that cost, I have many other things to do with that money.

Hey Flyer I hear where you coming from. If it ain't broke don't fix it

Agree on the coin toss, my choice came down to $.
I wanted the Gen II, so if I did have an issue I could replace the module for $45.
I found the pedestal one on sale vs the hardwire... I'm cheap

For those with hardwired surge protectors there is this.

I’d like something that monitors heat at the inlet. I may take the plunge and rewire my cords with the smart plugs unless I find a reasonable and reliable solution.

I like the idea of something that monitors heat at the connection, now the question is , is there something out there that does and is integral to the shore connection……….That would likely sell like crazy!

If you’ve got the time and money, anything can be engineered.

I haven’t found it. AI says it doesn’t exist. Been looking.
