I guess I have another seemingly obvious question.....
In all this talk about how important it is having a surge protector on your RV, I wonder how many of you have surge protectors on your house????? And I'm not talking about those extension cord surge protectors on your computers. If its this important and for some reason the breaker box is not capable of handling power surges, then you should also have a built in surge protector on your home for all those electrical components as well. Just saying.....
Like I said, been running without one in the RV for 25 years up until this last year when I put one in this new rig that should have had one from the factory, as you say. Its like bed savers and all those other after market engineering corrections to something that "might" happen. Chances are it won't happen, but to me, I don't want to lose a season getting it repaired if it just "happens" to happen :).
Would I leave home without it, sure. Is it a gift from heaven, no. It just is what it is, about $300 to avert a high cost repair, just like extended warranties that I don't use, or that bedsaver that I don't have.
