This is probably a stupid question -- I have a portable EMS-PT30X to pug in my 201BH -- I see they have a hard wired one - EMS-HW30C - is it more beneficial for the hard wired one or just stay with the portable??? - They both do the same thing and I don't see the benefit of using both -- thoughts  |

I think the difference is personal preference?
Portable units are easier to take with you if you trade up your trailer.
Portable units pose a risk of theft or of you forgetting it at the camp site.
Hard wired units can be taken with you if you trade up but with a little more effort involved.
No benefit to using both at the same time.

I lost count of the years camping and never a theft. Worked LE for 25 years in a popular tourist area, multi state, and county parks with camping, one reported theft of some sleeping bags from outside a tent. I leave thing out in the campsite all the time. If I thought theft would be an issue I would just move on.

I went with the hardwire so I can't forget it.

Works great. Lyle |

I use a external to check the post at the campsite, then if ok, I plug in to the internal one (Hughes)

Greens mine so the thief has a color choice.

That's awfully considerate to give the low lifes a choice. |

Choice should be 9mm or .45, IMO. :-) Lyle |

That's the idea, make them stand still for just long enough.....
