Power cord reel switch issue

This issue recently happened to me on my 3121RL Legacy so just FYI. I asked Southwire tech support if they offer a waterproof switch for my cord reel and they said no. Recently I had an issue with my cord reel reversing uncontrollably and found the switch got wet and shorted to the reel motor making it reverse. My issue with this is (1) why is this switch on the outside of my RV not waterproof and under my hot water tank drain. (2) luckily I was at home when the cord reel went crazy reversing all the cord off the reel before I snipped the power wire to the switch, couldn't locate the fuse.. If this would have happened while on the road...I don't even want to think about it what could have happened with the power cord dragging in front of the tires. Just beware Legacy owners.
