30 or 50 AMP surge protector
If we sometimes use 30 AMP and other times 50 AMP campsites, what surge protector do we need to get? We don't need to buy both a 30 and a 50 AMP do we?

I would go with an autoformer, which includes surge instead of just a surge device. Low voltage kills far more than high voltage surge.
If you get an actual EMS unit, it will protect from surge and low voltage. I highly recommend the Progressive Industries hard-wired version.
The low voltage cut out on the PI is 104 volts. Damage to motors may start at 107 volts.
Having no power due to a low voltage disconnect does not appeal to me at 37 c (98.6).
My particular autoformer allows me to operate safely at a shore voltage of 90. It has 3 layers of boost (110, 100, 90) and one of buck (134). I have "tweaked" those numbers to have the first boost at 113.
I have added better surge than the PI unit.
