Ready for a surge protector
Ok, we made it through our first season without a surge protector, although I did have a tester i used at the CG hookup to check for miss wiring / shorts. Anyway, I have a 19'TT, 30Amp hookup. ...

That slapped together system at the campground has to be inspected, and meet code requirements.
I've seen reversed polarity at COE, State Park and commercial high end resort campgrounds.
I've seen voltage below 100V at rally sites, COE, National Park Service and commercial campgrounds from low end to high end.
I've seen open neutral at a high end membership park and a high demand state park.
I'm sure all were inspected and passed code - at that time. Things happen over time.
I was assigned a site at a Texas State Park in October, and received a shock as I went to open the pedestal. When they sent someone over to look - it appeared that a previous occupant had pulled out with his 30Amp cord still attached. The 30Amp plug was broken and shorting.
Two nearby rigs were off - and one had a refrigerator fried because he didn't have any protection device for his power connection.
All the campground maintenance could do was disconnect the broken plug and luckily I had a 50-30Amp adapter.
