RVGUARD 50 Amp 125/250 Volt RV/EV Power Outlet Box, NEMA 14-50R Receptacle | Enclosed Lockable Weatherproof Outdoor Electrical Panel, ETL Listed

Very high quality product! Installed easily and fits RV 50A perfectly

Fast shipping, packed well and a quality box.

Great power outlet for the price. Worked perfectly.

Very well made, heavy duty construction. No annoying concentric knock-outs. Receptacle is already mounted and ready to be wired and of high quality. Pad lock included. And at an excellent price. I’m very happy with this purchase.

I'm not an electrician, but I'm very handy. With that out of the way, I was looking for an exterior, surface mount box to house my Hubbell outlet, which I already bought. If you do any research, you quickly learn that using your typical $10 NEMA 14-50 outlet to charge an EV, something that it was never designed to do, can cause fires. I'd also prefer something weather and tamper resistant. I simply couldn't find anything out there that checked all of the boxes, but figured I could buy this and modify it to my needs. I didn't use any of the knockouts, simply because I didn't want to use an LB, so I drilled a hole in the back. There is very little space for wiring, so make sure if you're going to do this, DRILL THE HOLE NEAR THE BOTTOM!!! If you drill it in the middle, you won't be able to fit the outlet back into the box, because the outlet will be pushing on the wires. I used 6AWG wiring for my 50 amp breaker, and the wires are simply too stiff and you need to enter the box from the bottom so that the outlet is clear from the wires. Next, the plate that holds the outlet is not big enough for a Hubbell outlet. The included NEMA 14-50 outlet has a diameter a shade over 2". The Hubbell, however, is almost 2.5", so I had to get a 2.5" hole saw to make the hole big enough, then I drilled new holes, bought new machines screws and fastened them in the back with lock washers and nuts. While I didn't take a point off, they should have made the plate large enough for the bigger, industrial outlets, that people are starting to use more, along with an adapter plate if someone wants to install a cheaper outlet. In fact, they shouldn't even include an outlet and let the customer decide which one they want. Then, they could drop the price a few dollars. With the lid closed, there's maybe a 1 1/2" gap between my EV plug and the inside of the lid, which is expected. Again, this was designed for a bigger RV plug. I would have MUCH PREFERRED they gave us that extra space in the back for the wires. Believe it or not, I actually think someone can reach in with their fingers, even with it closed and while they probably can't completely unplug it, they can pull it out pretty far. I might actually cut a 1" block of wood to fit in between the plug and the closed lid. but I'd be surprised if anyone tried to tamper with it. I took a point off for the lid, because there's no way to make it stay open, which makes installing the wires difficult. I had to tie a string to the lid (see pic) to keep it open during installation. I did a good deal of searching, however, and I think this is your best option if you're looking to surface mount an exterior outlet box and replace it with a Hubbell outlet.

It's as listed. Came with all needed hardware. Has a locking door with extra hole for a lock

Good quality and plenty of space for wires

This a good box, and it solved my problems, but I needed to run conduit in through the top of the box. While there is a hole there, it's bigger than the holes for the sides and the bottom. I had to custom modify the top hole to accept 3/4 conduit which tripled my installation time. Other than that, it works, but it was frustrating that the adapter plates they provide don't work for the top inlet hole.

My first foray into the world of RV/boat type of electrics and I am deeply impressed. This box COMES WITH the receptacle (which is not apparent In the description). The design is brilliant! No removing knock-outs, no drilling or enlarging connector openings - which are waterproof. Materials are very heavy duty. Ground connection is already done. My only gripe is the slots could grip the plug blades a little more tightly but this issue could be due to the slippery chrome-plated blades on the Chevy Bolt charge unit. This box is on another level - well done!

Bought this to use with a ev car charger and is an excellent product for outdoor charging and locks for good security to keep the chargeing cord safe solid good price product

Not easy to connect 4 @ 60amp cables into the box! Otherwise excellent.

The box is constructed of heavy grade metal (plus). The knockout was more difficult to remove by “knocking out” due to thickness of material; I had to actually cut out the hole with a small metal cutting wheel on rotary tool (minus).

It is easy to install and is the persfect size for an outdoor EV charging unit.
