- my trailer runs on 30A. Do I buy the 30A model? What if the park has 50A or 20A and I am using a converter to my trailer, would I still use the 30A model?
You want a 30A EMS like
Progressive Industries Portable EMS-PT30X RV Surge Protector. Expensive, but cheap insurance. Buy a 15A/20A
AND a 50A adapter, because you never know what you are going to run into at an RV park.
I recommend you take some light nylon cord/bungee cords/zip ties to make sure that the connections in and out are SECURE ! A roll of good quality
(3M Scotch 33) electrical tape is also a good idea.

- I’m not an electrician. What is the difference between a ‘surge’ and ‘high voltage’? What exactly am I protecting against? If I plug into my home 110V do i still need this?
A "surge" is a very short short, but often very high, voltage spike. Not good for electronic items such as microwaves or televisions.
Probably NOT required for connection to your house, but a good idea just to stay in practice.
