Surge protector
We have a 2020 keystone outback. How important is it to have a 50 amp surge protector? I thought that’s what fuses and breakers were for. If I need one I’llget one, I just don’t want to buy something ...

Miswired and missing grounds. If hot and cold (return) wires are mixed up, that can result in a “skin hot” electrical shock, a dangerous condition.
I had a plug in my garage that had no ground, EMS wouldn’t pass power.
We camped at an old campground for a second time at a different location during a packed weekend during a high heat index warning. In PA, 108 temps incredible humidity. Everyone’s AC full blast, voltages kept dipping down to 103 vac. My power shut down at 106.
