" I check the 50 amp circuit breaker we are plugged into"
THAT is your problem. IF it is NOT a double pole (2- 50 amp breakers side by side), then you are NOT on 50 amp service, but on "cheated" 50 amp service. TRUE 50 amp RV service is 50 amps on each leg for a total of 100 amps of total supply. You are probably overloading the existing 50 amp total supply and your Surge protector is doing its job. Doug
