Weatherpoof enclosure for 120v Charger?

Can anyone recommend a weatherpoof enclosure for the 120v charger? I use it frequently to charge my Energi, but due to the layout of my home and driveway, I can't really wind it back up for storage after every use. I'd like to get some sort of weatherproof enclosure to put it in, instead of just leaving it out in the rain and mud. However nothing I've found is big enough as the charger is about 15" long. I was looking at a product like this:

But it's just too small to fit the charger. Can anyone offer up an alterative? Thanks in advance!

Awesome idea, I didn't think of those. Unfortunately even the largest one isn't long enough to fit the 15" charger.

 

Shame because the majority of the charging unit is extra plastic to spool the cable around, but since I'm leasing my Energi so I don't want to take a hacksaw to the plastic to cut it down to size.

You know, before I started leaving my L1 inside the garage and running the cord out the front under the door, I actually just kept mine in a small kitchen garbage bag, with the cord connection to the extension cord wrapped such that rain would not flow into it. Not the best looking, but I had no trouble with it. The L1 charger is weatherproof anyway.

You can remove the plastic ring if you aren't winding the cord up after each use. That will save some space. The plastic ring is designed to slide on & off.
