Difference between 2 surge protectors?
What's the difference between this surge protector and this one? They look very similar to me or am I missing something? Thanks for your input... :@

You should perhaps revisit the hard wired instal. The cost increase is not very significant and you solve your security concerns. Also you get the benefit of having a read out of the device status in your rig.
Just sayin!
You also have the advantage of dropped neutral protection if the neutral conductor fails between the pedestal and the RV's power distribution center (breaker panel). My daughter and son-in-law had a neutral conductor failure in the shore power cord of their Mobile Suites that resulted in over $7,000 in damage to 120VAC components in the RV. Since the failure was downstream of the portable protection system plugged into the pedestal that they were using at the time, the protection system didn't catch it. They now have the permanent, hardwired system that monitors power just as it goes into the RV's power distribution center that will provide protection against a failed neutral in the power cord.
