50amp power protector
Looking at the portable 50amp power protectors. What brand are you using? What brand do I need to stay away from?

About 4 years ago I got a good deal on Camco's 50amp PD50. It's claimed to be water resistant. It was never submerged in water but it did hang from my MH while it was raining and it rained a lot last winter. When I connected it again, it started chattering after it's delayed startup. By then, I was on the other side of the MH involved with something else. I thought my neighbors were using a jig saw. When I figured out it was the protector and unplugged it, it's never worked again. I email Camco asking where to send it so it could be repaired. They told me there was no repair available and my investment in a surge protector was now worthless. I opened it up to find there was about a 1/2 cup of water in it that caused the problem. After it leaked in, there never was any sign of it being in there - couldn't leak out. I tried replacing the component that took the brunt of the damage with no luck.
That's my experience with the Camco product so I would recommend staying away from it. It only has a one year warranty and then it's worthless.
I started looking around and found the users of Progressive Industry's protectors saying they stood behind their products with a lifetime warranty. My next protector will be a Progressive product.
