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.....
my electric company offered one for I think $8 a month. was going to get one but discovered that it wouldn't protect against spikes coming in thru the ground wire so didn't. as was said, my home current/service doesn't change drastically every other day like my RV one can, so in my opinion is sort of a silly analogy. but yes, in my home most expensive devices are plugged into a surge protector strip.
