I use a small 1500WATT UPS unit here in my Radio Ops room at my house setup for all of my sensitive computer and radio equipment...

Seems to keep all of my sensitive items pretty well protected... Being small however I don't get do much when running off of the UPS unit internal batteries when in that mode and maybe all I can expect to do is a normal safe shutdown of things...
Works good for me here in the stick house...
Most of my camping is OFF-ROAD camping where everything is run off my own 120VAC source being generated by the onboard batteries and Power Inverter... Then i re-charge my battery banks each day using my 2KW Honda generator for three hours each morning. Only stay in the campgounds with electric hookups when moving across my local region here...
Sounds like most everyone that depends on living at the different various shore power sources all have the expensive surge protectors. I think I would want to have things run off of a larger POWER INVERTER when the Surge Protectors switch you off line.
Just some of my thoughts here...
