More info: I am in a Class A, 50amp using a 50amp post and have a Surgeguard model 34750 (which has a digital screen). I always understood this would protect from problems at the post, but obviously in my case did little to prevent a problem on the coach/cord side.
I don't remember exactly what the repairman said he found but might have involved the neutral wire and the cord and surgeguard connection had been bent to store.
I always learn from these comments, but I am leaning to Bobbo's response: "If he has a 50 amp RV and his cord lost connection to the NEUTRAL wire somehow, that is EXACTLY the damage he would see."
Thanks to all, I will investigate getting the EMS installed.

ps 2 weeks later I had two lightening strikes to a couple of tall pines less than 20 ft away from the post. Several other campers had damage I had none...so sometimes things work as they should.
