Power Surges and Class A motorhomes
I hear a lot about these. Anyone one ever have one? or two? What happens when its happening?

I don't get where you see the hassle. The units shut off when power gets too low. They wait a designed period of time check power and turn back on. The other biggee is that every time you plug in, the unit checks the power supply and indicates if anything is wrong. After I installed mine, it told me the plug on my RV pad was wired wrong.
This is one of those posts that usually the trailer people or inexpensive Class A people argue that they don't need it. They're right, they generally don't have a lot of electronic items that can get fried.
"bluegypsy".....I see you don't post what kind of coach you have, but your previous posts indicate a Fleetwood Discovery. Good luck if you get a spike on that. Your replacement costs for appliances and components could easily run $10,000.00.
I've been camping for 40 years and I never had a Surge protector on my slide in camper, Class C or Class A gasser, but my DP wasn't worth fooling around with. Many here have to watch their finances and can't afford one. If you can't, I understand, but please don't tell all the other posters in this post they don't need one.
