I asked the same question on the Hughes website and they responded with this reply:
"The question is, which surge protection unit do you have? If it is the one that shuts of your RV in extreme voltage situations(102-132V), plug our unit in first so the protector will be protected from low volts and will not shut your RV off. If it's the simple surge protector with all the LEDs indicating what the various input conditions are, plug that unit in first so you get the benefit of the indicators as well as a little more surge protection".
Exactly what many of you recommended and suggested. I picked up a decent surge protector that does not shut off at low and high voltage levels, so I plan on plugging that into the pedestal, and then plug the autoformer into that. Atleast that way I will get some protection offered to the autoformer as well as the RV.
Thanks for all the replys and help from everyone
