Yes, the surge protector would have been on the ground. “On the ground” may have contributed to my earlier problems?! The new electric cord is attached under the slide-out so nothing on the ground.
Marge, the surge protector is protected. Note the last three pictures. First, the surge protector is sitting on the upside-down dish pan. Then I cut the edge (two places) of the plastic flower pot and it is upside-down over the surge protector. Cut-outs for the cord. Then a heavy brick on top of the flower pot so it doesn’t blow away. Since that third picture, an even heavier cement block on top of flower pot. ~~~~ When Jim looked at my handy-woman project, he was full of praise and said it is perfect.
I do not see how that would prevent someone from unplugging the surge protector at the post. They don’t do a good job of “selling” the item (imho).
Actually, I feel secure; I don’t think my surge protector will be stolen. We never have any theft here (praise the Lord). A couple of years ago, some teenagers came into Rainbow’s End and took some resident golf carts for a “joy ride.”
Is the surge protector protected from the rain? Ask Jim if it needs to be. I don’t remember. You are making great advances!

I would hope it would be secure there in your park but there are also ways to lock those down.
Deb, this is the only lock I found: http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/surge-guard-universal-lock-hasp/44333&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&scid=scplp44333&sc_intid=44333?utm_campaign=SC_Shopping_High&affiliateid=6313&gclid=CjwKCAjwu7LOBRBZEiwAQtfbGBf1Z424qtOCGS9qdip5nF8zSllKAF7bBY7aK_n1J1wZdulQNqI71BoCmrEQAvD_BwE
