Surge protectors, for rv.
I am considering a surge protector for my rv, 30 amp service, my question is they seem very expensive at rv stores. Can they be bought somewhere else for less money?

As someone said, Amazon and E-bay are your friends.
I will caution you on one thing.. progressive Industries makes basically two types of protectors One type has an LCD display and shows voltage current and error code... This one may be a one-piece plug in unit or a 2-piece hard wired with remote display... But It is the one you want.
The other type has no LCD, just a few indicator leds. It is much cheaper but it is NOT the one you want.. This one is a Spike Suppressor only. A true SURGE (Sustained high voltage) will blow up the devices inside it (Sounds like firecrackers no secondary damage however, Trust me, been there when it happened) and they offer absolutely no low voltage protection.
You can also get hard wired boxes that provide this level of protection (I have one) ( I have an LCD type as well ).
But avoid the ones without an LCD display.
