Latest Bright Idea for Surge and Autoformer

[bncinwv]

Obviously I have too much time on my hands, but will appreciate thoughts, input and advice (including criticism) of my latest brainstorm. I was considering a hard installation of surge guard and autoformer but I think I have come up with a better idea. What I am thinking about is having a steel or aluminum box fabricated that will hold both of these units. It would be slotted on both ends to allow for the shore lines (I will need to have two) to be slid into the box in such a fashion that when the box is closed and locked the cables could not be removed. The entire box would also have holes to allow for a steel locking cable to be inserted through the box which could be locked to the axles of the rig. Removal of the shore lines would also be prevented since the large ends would be inside the box and could not be removed without cutting the line. My only concerns are whether or not there are heat dissipation needs for these devices and whether the box would have to have aeration hols or even a fan installed. This would allow for use when needed on CG power and to not use it when under generator power. What do you all think?????
