Yes that's true.
I have just gotten to the point though with so many of them being bad I don't even want to waste my time to open the bays and drag out my cord and surge protector out only to find out the outlet is bad.
I full time so I am using CG's every day if I am on the move traveling. So I get to see just how many are bad and all I want to do is just pull in, plug in and rest for the night. And not have to chase down a CG manager after I have started to set up and find out the shore station is bad.
That's why the little tester is on the dog house in the MH. I pull in grab the tester and test. If it's good 'then' I will start to set up.
Rockhill I see your point. I have had to move due to a faulty outlet. Yes it was a pain in the.... If I used your method of testing first I would have saved myself a bit of aggravation.
So the circuit tester is really "convenience insurance" not really to protect the surge suppressor, wouldn't you say?...
Yes. The tester is NOT a replacement for using a surge protector.It does not protect anything just let's you know what is going on with the shore station before you plug in.
AND it works great inside the MH also. Once I set up the tester goes 'inside' the MH plugged in above the sink. It's how I found out that when running on my generator that "I" had a problem 'within' my coach.
