Hello. I am purchasing a class C motorhome and have a question for all. I am torn between purchasing a hard wired EMS vs a Portable version. Can anyone provide any suggestions. I was looking at the Progressive Industries as well as the Surge Guard brands. I know you have to look at Joules and all that stuff. Just don't know whether to get hard wired or portable. If portable, then you have to get a lock guard or something so it does not "grow legs" and if I get a hardwired version, and something happens to it, I am stuck until I get it fixed in order to get power. I am torn!!! Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated! Not looking for a brand suggestion, just hard wired vs portable.
Thanks again in advance!

I went thru the same decision making process you're going thru now. I decided on the hard wired unit for a several reasons.
1 - I'm all about convenience and keeping things EZ. I didn't want to add to the short amount of time I now spend hooking up by including a portable SP to the process. one more thing to store when not being used.
2 - the hard wired unit came with a remote monitor that is mounted inside the coach.
3 - even though we've only had one theft in the last 30-years I didn't want to worry about the portable unit 'growing legs' and walking away.
good luck.
