Waterproofing the Vehicle to Load adaptor

For me, it is essential that the Vehicle to Load adaptor is waterproof and will work in a storm or camping in the rain.
As supplied it isn't !!

I have used a small sheet of EPDM rubber to create a waterproof seal and cover.
The video shows how I have put it together.
I also tested the performance under load. Result: excellent

Did you know you can buy magnetic rain covers that seal up against the body of the car & cover the flap as well
This one appears the right sort of size to take the V2L adaptor - Just my opinion on the size - nothing measured

On another note - Do yourself a favour & throw out that extension lead you used - You can see where the plastic is cracking up around the sockets due to age & UV exposure

Similar one bought from Amazon. It does offer protection for the V2L adapter but due to the creases in the car bodywork and location of the charger port there are gaps either side. It maybe I just need to play around to find the best orientation for the cover as the magnetic rim is in two pieces.
