While plugged in at your home do you always use your surge protector?
I can see why to always use at campgrounds because of lots of things there. High demand on power causing low voltage- high voltage-bad wiring-etc etc. But at home those are not near as likely to happen. Just curious what other do.
I NEVER plug in anywhere without my PT50X. At my home I have been saved by a power company transformer failure that sent high voltage to my rig - 132v+. I had power spikes a different time, again the power company's fault. My next door neighbor had blown light bulbs with each of these issues, I had no damage at all even to my two 120v light bulbs (all others are 12v).
Electrical power is electrical power IMHO and even from a major utility problems can and do occur. I have the PT50X so why not use it all the time. I sleep better when I do.
