Just a thought..
If you use the portable everyone says it can be stolen. Yes that is possible.
If you lock the portable someone can cut the cable or take the entire cable unless your using the reel so were back to cutting.. So what's the use.
You can hardwire one inside. Good and would be hard to steal. Good point.
If it is hardwired inside and it is damaged while protecting your coach you have to go in and replace it. Acceptable.
If you have a very large fault and it protects your coach but burns up along with your coach. Bummer..
So like all other choices ... some are a crap shoot...
That's my thoughts...

I too have been trying to decide between the portable and hard wired.......thought I had made up my mind to go hard wire until I saw your comment! Do you know of something like this happening?? I know nothing is fool proof.......but now you have me thinking that portable might be "safer" in the long run!
Out of curiosity......which do you use ?
How long does your Progressive take to check out the shore power.
Mine takes up to 2.5 minutes to trip in due to the delay for the A/C.
I have never plugged into a bad shore power.. Have you?

Before we get all worked up and succumb to scare stories, this subject came up before. So I e-mailed Progressive and got the attached reply. Mine is installed just behind the basement wall, so I can get to it if I really needed to.
John;
Thanks for sharing the response you received from Progressive.
I'm back to my original thinking......hard wire with the remote display.....the display being the part I like the best!
Travel Safe!
