If you are mainly concerned about your electronics since you mentioned being in IT, maybe a UPS would be worth considering, most have high quality surge suppression built in to protect your gear.
X2!
Lots of good UPS units to choose from which will do a far better job "protecting" your equipment during low/high voltage surges by switching to inverter whenever an event happens.
Much more bang for the buck than any surge protector.
You could also step up a notch and get an inverter (12V DC to 120V AC) with ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) and beef up your 12V battery system a bit.. This gives you essentially a huge UPS with expanded run time depending on how much battery capacity you have. This type of inverter also has built in charging for the RV batteries.
Multiple times over the years I have toyed with the idea of a Inverter with ATS in my home when I am forced to replace a UPS gone bad or UPS batteries..
I agree.. albeit heavy as hell.. But you have my gears turning.
