2020 Jayco GrayHawk 29MVP. Do I need to add Surge Protector

Not necessary. Usually when their is a power Surge may be during a serious storm and THATS when you don't want to go out to play with the power. I 'Read' their add as saying "INCLUDED" and thats why I bought from them.. I re-read it again (10th time)today...it no longer says Included.?.?

WELL...I've received the Surge Guard from BOAT AND RV ACCESSORIES Co. They sell at their own web site and EBAY. Seems to work...BUT...it didn't come with the "Included Remote LCD readout" nor the alternate plastic weather guard! Reread their add several times and was SURE it says "Included".
Contacted them. They SAY it 'Actually' says..."CAPABILITY for using Remote LCD readout included". The remote must be bought SEPARATELY! I Re-Re-read ad...6 more times... I won't be buying ANYTHING from them again.

so who was right?

Thanks all for the helpful info. I've decided on the SouthWire Surge Guard #34931 30 Amp Surge Protector WITH its Remote wireless Monitor panel all for $248.

Yes tnx Lwiddis,
that's what i'm using, plugged into one of my outlets.
DW is always asking me why do I need to constantly look at this meter ? I really do not have a good answer. I just tell her I don't constantly look at it, I divide my time with the 12v meter on the dash.
Then there is the Scan Gauge, that's a whole other ballgame. :B

Bobndot, Hughes plug-in volt meters are $15 on Amazon. Mine works well.

Hi, hope all is well. Yes its an older unit 1980's, I used it when I was a seasonal for 17 years . I don't remember the rate its suppose to boost.
Thank you for pointing that out, I didn't mean to be misleading. I was using the 92v to 110v as a general term for all the pedestals that I tested at the time.
At the time I tested a few pedestals at my neighbors sites. They used my meter to test their pedestals and I remember they all were in the 90's with 92 being the lowest and all went over 100v when we tried the Hughes. To clarify, the Spread was 92v to 110v.
The system Im using seems to work well, I have never had anything burn out. At the times when my was pedestal was very low, I turned off my AC and just tried to protect the rv appliances and converter.

Stay safe :)

The last KOA I was at showed 92 volts coming off the pedestal. I then plugged in my 'Hughes Autoformer' to boost me up to 110 v.

I don't understand how you got from 92 volts to 110.

Hughes claims a boost of 10%. 92 volts x 1.1 = 101.2 volts.

"The unit automatically starts boosting 10% if the voltage drops to 113 or below. It will boost 10% until the voltage gets to 90 volts which is the minimum amount of volts for the unit."

Is it an earlier version?
