Surge protection for my rv

Do I need a surge protector on my 50 amp destination? I always use it on my own property and only in the winter in florida.
  • On private utility power? No. At least no more than for your private home residence.

    During an electrical storm or hurricane? Best to unplug until the event has passed.

    If spending money get a full EMS type that will detect and cut power for bad ground, high voltage, low voltage etc. not just transient surge protection.
  • Yes but it will do nothing for a nearby lightening strike.
