What do you use for surge protection?

Progressive Industries 50 amp portable. Replaced the TRC model I left on top of the pedestal in Las Vegas. Bought the portable because, wasn't sure how long we would keep the rig. 2 years later, bought a new rig. When I forget this one or it fails, I'll have one hardwired as this is our last RV. Don't know which brand is better because, thankfully, no problems with either. Had a surge before using protection. All covered by insurance or warranty but problems kept reoccurring many years later. Three Transfer switches, Fridge, microwave,GFCIs.......

I can see that, with a portable unit, should one change RV's, the protector could go with you, from RV to RV.
I absolutley love my Navion, I might find a newer, nicer Navion one day, but not likely. IDK, the hard-wired units seem to look easy to install and this would free me up from the worry of someone stealing the protable off the pole, or me leaving it behind, which is a big concern for me.

Insurance will cover damage? What kind of insurance is this, if you don't mind?
I'm so new to this RV scene really. I've had a few TT's, a class B, pop-up, a TC and a modified Sprinter van. But, this Navion is sooooo nice, and I want to take good care of it and enjoy it for years. I need to know more about this and that, and insurance for repairs seems reasonable, I guess.

Thanks!
