Surge protector

Thanks for all the quick replies. I was afraid it would be an expensive piece of equipment. The little things add up quick!! Trailer was a large purchase for us so I want to do it right and not take a risk.

Don't bother with this one. It doesn't have the joules that the bigger ones are rated for. There are power strips that are better than it.

but it has under/over protection, etc. normally $250 now $99?? don't understand that.

don't buy a $99 cheapie, get a multi-function one for $250 or so. its a one time purchase.

What you want is a good multi-function surge protector and those run ~ $250 for a 30A and ~ $350 for a 50A...

The less the money the less the protection and vice versa...

don't think you will find a new one for that kind of money. check Ebay for a used unit. By all means get one and use it before a power problem fries your electonics. I have been in a few parks where MHs and fivers have had all their electronics including the inverters/converters fried. Surgeguard and Progressive are the well known units.

good luck and don't put it off.......
