Weatherproof box for UMC?

[m3gt2]

So now it seems that we may be able to travel, assuming it remains safe, I am looking for a weatherproof box to cover the UMC if I charge it on an electric hookup at a caravan site etc. Can you recommend one that is the correct size and suitable please? Thanks

I use one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dri-Box-FL...ri-box+large+green&qid=1593191278&sr=8-1&th=1

I've suggested before - a bucket and a brick or a Tesco carrier bag.
I've had a rodent deterrant thingy net to wife's car for 6 mths. It's plugged into an extension reel and a carrier bag over the lot. And this i Wales. Still dry under there.

It has crossed my mind before but I thought for less than £15 is it worth risking the UMC that would cost many times more to replace

The large box might seem a bit 'large', but the UMC cables are not that flexible so I think the medium box would be too small. This is especially the case with the 32A commando adaptor. I also cut a small 'flap' in the lid (see below) to accommodate the charge cable without it bending too much and/or distorting the lid. Here a couple of photos.

I'm guessing you bought the 16 A and 32 A adapters separately? Or did you manage to get a car when they were still included?

The cars came with the 16A as well as the 3 pin plug until fairly recently. You can buy the 16 and/or 32A separately (only £32 (each) when I bought the 32A and picked up from service centre)

Yup, I missed out. Ordered the 16 A online and it was £43 delivered from Holland.

The 'blue' adapters weren't included (I picked up my M3 in mid-March) but I got them from [email protected] when they were £32 each with £8.70 shipping, so a bit cheaper than the online store.

Sorry I didn't get a notification. I had the 16A with the car (got my car in September), and ordered the 32A for £43 online, it was dispatched from Holland the same day.
