Just purchased a 2008 motorhome. Ive heard conflicting things on things that I might need.
1) Surge protector that goes between plug ins and the MH when im at a campground - The MH has a circuit breaker though. Do I need this surge protector for something else?
2) Water pressure regulator - When im on "city" water Im using their water pressure - is it possible for their water pressure to get so high it can damage my things?
3) filter between the hose and the RV when putting water in - I saw a screen over the inlet to the RV, do I need an additional filter to prevent particles from getting in and damaging my things (water pump?)
Any other advice on essentials?
1. Surge protector: Yes. You have them in your home, right? A breaker isn't a Surge protector. You've got a lot of expensive electrical and electronics inside your RV. They're worth a lot more than $138. Get one:
Surge Protector
2. Water pressure regulator: Yes. Why risk blowing your plumbing - inside your RV - for a $7.item:
Water Pressure Regulator
3. Water filter/purifier: Yes. Why drink crappy tasting water?
Water Filter
