For a 30 amp RV I would recommend a Progressive Industries HW-30C
Why the HW (Hard wired) Two reasons in a way both the same
1:Outta sight, outta mind means you will never forget it cause it's always there
2: Outta Signt, outta mind means it won't grow legs and walk off in the night
Also it has a very good VERY GOOD warranty
What I have is the 50 amp equivalent Southwire job cause it was one "Heck" of a sale..
What it does:
SPike supression.. All the so called "Surge Guards" do this from the 10 dollar outlet strip to the thousands power line conditioners.
HIGH VOLTAGE (Real surge) this damages most everything in the RV .. example no matter what others say "You Can not plug into 220 volt outlets with a TT30 plug) I have seen it done.. I've done it. (Proof of concept) Never got burned though cause the plug was a dogbone and nothing on the other end of the bone.
I've also read far too many stories where a Professional electician wired a TT30 outlet for 230 volt (It says 125 max right on the plug body)
I've stopped on such from doing that... In time.
The unit also protects from LOW voltage. this damages the Air Conditioner and SOME other systems.. and the damage builds up over time. The Surge guard stops it.
Finally it has a built in "Delay" on the PI Hard Wired set it to LONG Southwire there is no option (long it is) like wise the portables.
This too protects the air conditioner if youget a power "Blink" (off and on say 1-200 seconds later)
Very good product
I see posts like this hard wire so it won't get stolen. How many thefts in CG's are there?? Years camping and never lost a thing, camp setup & gone all day. Worked an area with a state park with over a million visitors, one theft in 25 years, couple kids stole sleeping bags.
