Install location for power/surge protection
Hi All - have been reading and enjoying this forum since our trailer purchase last October, now I have a question to pose. I've read many of the threads on power/surge protection installs, and would like to permanently install a Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C. Most folks seem to place this near the power distribution/breaker panel. In our instance, it would seem easier from an install and remote display perspective to install this in the power cable storage box at the rear of the trailer (essentially at the junction box between the shore power cable and Romex wiring going to the distribution panel). There seems to be room to do this (can modify the storage box so the shore cable doesn't interfere with the EMS-HW30C), and it would make for an easy install of the remote display in the bunk area of the trailer. Any reason I should not proceed with installing in this location? Thanks in advance!
