Installing Whole Trailer surge suppressor
I have a 2002 Seahawk that is prewired for a generator and has a 50 Amp automatic transfer switch in the front basement compartment. With 2 Leads going back to the circuit panel in the bag of the rig ...

There are two schools of thought.. When I install mine it will be just in front of the transfer switch, this way Generator power will not pass through it but shore power will (I trust my generator to do it's job).
Some folks think you should put it AFTER the transfer switch so it protects against the Generator being out of spec.. But though I truly am paranoid, I'm not that paranoid. (Diagnosed and everything). (Sometimes a bit of Paranoia is a good thing though, I was PAID to be paranoid).
My system when completed.
Shore power----Hughes Autoformer----Surge Guard---Auto Transfer Switch--RIG
Rig includes a Prosine 2.0 that feeds and protects selected loads I might add.
