Hi,
The choice is quite simple. One maker has a lifetime guaranty. Only the top of the line unit from that maker offers the best possible protection (which I still feel does not meet my needs).
Measure before you plug in. Put a load on the outlet while doing the test. With a 30 amp service this mostly obviates the need for the above mentioned device. 50 amp is a different story.

Could someone possible lay out a detailed primer on these, with model numbers plus pros and cons of each unit? It would be a great service to a lot of RVer's, particularly part time campers (such as myself), who want electrical protection for our campers, but want to do so as economically as reasonable. I suspect a majority of part time campers use 30 amp as opposed to 50 amp, though I don't know that for sure.
I'm very knowledgeable about electric wiring and as such have done my own electrical work (always to code) my whole life. But having said that, looking at the great variety of these devices on Amazon, ranging from $70-80 to several hundred $, I wonder which ones are adequate, which ones do the job, and which ones might be overkill. Also, some idea as to reputation of the manufacturer when it comes to warranty issues would be great. I'm sure others here are interested in purchasing one of these, but face a similar quandary in making the right decision.
