50amp power protector
Looking at the portable 50amp power protectors. What brand are you using? What brand do I need to stay away from?

I have the Hughes Power Watchdog 50 Amp EPO (EMS) device and it works with my RV Whisper monitoring system so I can see all of the Power Watchdog data over the internet on my phone. I also get email and text message alerts when I lose shore power or the park wiring is bad. I have a dog that stays behind in the RV sometimes so I really like getting alerted whenever I lose shore power, even before the temperature starts to rise in my RV.
I also have the Progressive Industries 50 Amp hardwired EMS that I installed years ago, but of course it only displays the data inside the RV on the display.
So I actually have two different 50 Amp Surge Protectors (one on the pedestal, and one hard wired). Double protection, I guess. I really just wanted to get power alerts over the internet, and that only became available this year with RV Whisper and Power Watchdog. No sense uninstalling the hardwired Progressive Industries EMS. The Power Watchdog and Progressive Industries get along just fine.
