Power surges from the pedestal (shore power). Camping for more than 20 years, I never needed one. Or so I thought. 3 year old motorhome....in town having dinner, thunderstorm hit the area.
Long story short, my fridge got fried and only by a stoke of luck could my transfer switch start working again.
That boomer cost me about 1500 bucks. So....I then bought a Progressive Industries 50 amp unit (the portable model). $300+ bucks. Shuts the power to the motorhome off because of high, low or surge..I think within 2 nano-seconds.
yep, you can skate by for years on luck and save that $300, but one of these years bad luck is going to jump up and bite you in the butt.
