Surge Protectors

I do it any time there is no 50 amp service. Yes it works fine. :)

No need for a 30amp version with a 50a RV.

With a portable surge protector you plug your dogbone adaptor in between the protector and the campsite.

If you have a 50 Amp system. Than you use a 50 Amp surge protector.

Hi,

Yes the 50 amp protector will work just fine plugged into 30 amp shore power with an appropriate adapter.

I recently asked the same question at my local RV repair shop. The owner told me that I had a very good question and immediately got on the phone with the surge protector manufacturer. The manufacturer stated that a 50 amp protector will protect all circuits on 50 amp service, and also pig-tailed down to 30 amp service, but a 30 amp protector would not protect a coach plugged into 50 amp service. Obviously, I bought the 50 amp surge protector.
