Rv surge protector

Term surge included many different and unrelated anomalies. A protector for the home typically does not protect from anomalies of concern in campgrounds. Those anomalies include high voltage, brownouts, reverse polarity, open neutral, and floating ground. An RV protector must, at minimum, should address those anomalies.

Addendum: EMS is also called a surge protector. Subjective phrases are interchangeable. Useful information only comes from details of what each EMS (also called surge protector) actually does.

Take a look at the thread started by me: Saved By PT50C - Proof

Lots of good info in this and other threads on this site.

I like my Progressive Industries one.

Make sure you get the more expensive one that resets itself automatically.
I originally made the mistake of getting the one hundred dollar one and that is useless since it does not reset automatically.
If it is a hot day and you are gone for the day, when you come back your RV will be like an oven with no air conditioning.

Progressive Industries. Get an EMS....better than a surge protector...but also cost a bit more. Go to their website..you will find both, either 30AMP or 50AMP depending on your RV.
They will sell it to you, but search around the 'net for cheaper prices.

((Edited to say: "Tweetys" seems to have the best prices...and they are dependable. ))

Thanks for comments. No, I haven't read comments about surge protectors elsewhere here. I'm still learning where to find things on this site...lol. Sorry.

Hi all,
I'm shopping for a surge protector, and I would like some help please, as I know very little about what is the most important feature to look for.
Thanks

Steve, you are actually not reading the threads/posts about surge protectors that are very recent?

There has been many posts about a good surge protector. The most popular is from Progressive Industries. The warranty and service is said to be the best. I use one of these and it has worked by shutting down from too much power as well as too little power. It also checks for incorrect wiring from the source.
