From, 'it won't happen to me', 'it hasn't happened to me', and I don't have the extra funds for one, etc.
I'll go out on limb here and 'assume' EVERYONE here that owns a home HAS homeowners insurance on their house. Which is rarely used on the if come of a tornado, tree falling on their house, fire etc.
None of which are a common 'daily' occurrence. And many can go 20 years and never have a claim. Yet everyone has home owners insurance.
Then it comes to the RV which hooking up to electric IS a COMMON daily occurrence
and yet there are those that say they don't need the insurance of a surge protector?
I really do respect others opinions but when it comes to the fact that one can actually 'prevent' an accident from happening for a 'one' time purchase of around 100 bucks and choose not to is just shocking. No pun intended.
The average cost of an RV taking a surge hit to replace the appliances that are affected is around $3,000. Not to mention what you find out down the road what it affected behind the wall wiring. Seen it first hand.
100 bucks versus $3,000? Seems like a no brainer to me. Just saying.
