We had an Open Neutral in our cord and it did extensive damage to the trailer.
We had a Surge Guard on the post, however since the problem was after the SG it did nothing to help. Had we had the HW-50 we would not have had an issue. We now have a HW-50 and love it. So yes a hard wired system is worth it.
The same thing happened to our daughter and son-in-law. The pedestal mounted protection device couldn't detect the open neutral in the shore power cord. The result was over $7,000 in damages. They now have a hard wired Progressive Industries EMS-HW50C system that monitors power as it enters the RV's power distribution panel.
