ALARMING
The toad is armed with a battle-stations alarm. No lights, just a rapid beep-beep-beep...

"Heyeyeyeyeyey ABBOT! Look at the dashboard and be prepared to pull over!"
RV's and electrical faults do not have that luxury. A fault may need to be addressed almost instantly after detection. Like a lost neutral or phase to neutral reversal.
But an electrical shutdown in a critical situation during sleeping hours needs immediate attention. Like if a rig is relying principally on electric heating.
I have seen power down here spike to 180+ volts when a high tension line fell upon an X distribution line. It blew dozens of appliances before the H line blew the fusing wire in the line voltage pole transformer.
**** happens.
