Very expensive water proofing.

I think it is not just because of "the waterproofing" but because of the extensive, rigorous evaluation and testing that is required to get the rating/approval to allow its 'unrestricted' use outdoors in all weathers.

Just had a quick look on Fleabay, the cheap ones range in price from $65 to $95 + postage but they are all the indoor ones so they are not waterproof. You could get one of these from a caravan parts place for about the same price and save on the postage.
Again the more expensive ones on Fleabay for $200 plus are the waterproof ones, but again you could get one of these from a caravan parts place for about the same price and save on the postage.

It would seem that the device mentioned by 03 Troopy has the same approvals as some other brands of outlet box that are approved for RV use in accordance with section 4.4 of AS/NZS 3001 and that approval is for indoor use only.
