Surge Guard w/ ? Power pedestal - how do you handle this?

We just had a Surge Guard 35550 hard wired into our 2017 Newmar Ventana motorhome. I've heard that the unit can be quite picky about power supplies and will not allow power into the coach if there ...

Instead of playing what-if just trust the SurgeGuard.
There are no exceptions to proper connections and safety.

Mine has cut power for low voltage, high voltage, bad ground, reverse polarity.
Would you continue to operate your RV with these conditions?

If I have trouble I run on battery power, try another connector or roll. Carry adapters for 30, 50, and 20 amp as needed. Several times I have found the adjacent outlet works just fine.
