I hear a lot about these. Anyone one ever have one? or two? What happens when its happening?

To dons2346,
I think those of us that have surge protection know that they may not be protected from a direct or even close lightening strike. A friend of mine & his insurance just paid out almost $10,000 from lightening damage that hit the building his DP was stored in even though the DP was not plugged into the power.
We have them for the many other electrical problems previously mentioned that do occur and can cause thousands of dollars damage to RV electronics.

yep, mine checks to see that everything is OK before passing juice into the RV, has a delay restart to protect condensor after outages, etc. but yes, it won't protect a direct lightning strike but I am not letting that fact sway me from seeing the need for one. and the lightning strike in Austin was close enough to affect the folks around me but I had no damage, once the park got juice flowing again.
