Surge protectors
I have a TT with a 50 amp cord. However I only have one AC. Do I buy a 30 amp surge protector or a 50 amp? I have no plans to add a second AC Thanks Linc

SoundGuy, your suggestion, as-is, is a safety and fire hazard.
Tell me what happens when the OP, or a subsequent owner, decides they want to install a 2nd a/c and run all their appliances at the same time, and connect one end of a 50 amp cord into this TT, and the other into a 50 amp pedestal---forgetting, or not knowing, about the 30 amp surge protector or EMS lurking inside their TT?
If the OP were to follow your suggestion, he MUST also remove the 50 amp connector on the outside of his TT and install a 30 amp connector as a failsafe device. Without this critical step, your suggestion potentially places the OP, and any subsequent owner, in potential peril.
