Lightning strikes and line surges are infrequently but do happen. Because of aging power grids and campground lines high/low voltage, high/low Hz, reverse polarity, open grounds/neutral, etc. occur. In the 7 years that I’ve had my Progressive EMS I’ve had two reverse polarity (standing in water & touching RV metal can really shock you) and one troublesome low voltage due to Minnesota’s aging power grid. Yes you can check the power when you hook up but are you going to watch that volt meter all night? Low voltage for an extended period of time can really damage your AC.
I assume that you carry RV collision insurance & maybe personal property insurance which costs you every year. A surge protector is a one time expense that can save you not only deductable expense but vacation interruptions when it protects you from any one of the above hazards.
