Default Re: Power cord access while TM is closed

Is there any hazard if the exposed, unplugged power plug gets wet? (Like from heavy rains while traveling)
No danger whatsoever. This is one of the things I worried about when we all originally considered a solution. For myself, I will place the power plug itself in a plastic box in the bumper compartment to keep it dry - but only to prevent corrosion/rust/etc. If it gets wet, there is no electrical problem or danger, because it is not connected to anything except the changeover relay. The changeover relay, where the action takes place, is mounted in the lower half of the converter box, inside the TM, safe from any rain/snow/road salt, etc.
