we are about to go up to Oregon and I have been thinking about getting a Hughes autoformer to carry along after reading @ARD having success with it. I was thinking about the following set up and tell me if this is overkill.
Someday I may hardwire it in the bay but for now I am going to manually enable it. Is this overkill?
.
- I have 50 amp extension cord I carry with me.
- I was going to plug in my Hughes Watchdog surge into the pole (after I test it) and then connect the extension cord and run it back to the electric bay where I would connect the cord to the autoformer and then connect to RV cord to the autoformer on the input side.
- The reason for this is to protect it from theft and or rain damage although I could simply get a garbage can as a cover on top of a stand of sorts to get it off the ground and put it outside at the pole and run the rv cord to it with a lock on it.
