Gary, the Watchdog Surge Protector Voltage Booster 30A # HU84ZR is built for full-time use at the pedestal. The housing is weather-resistant, and lots of campers leave them in place all season. Just make sure it’s upright on its legs, and not sitting in standing water. Some folks even use a rain cover to have extra protection.
Are you at a campground with sketchy power often, or is this more about convenience?
