use a surge protecter with a genny

We have a 5500 Honda and tried to use a surge protector, but it kept shutting off the TV and satellite box. So, we don't use one

Yes he was.

Park surges are way over hyped-tens of zillions of camp nights are spent every year in this country yet surge damages are beyond minuscule and generator damages-too small to report!
You would be hard put to find anyone that's even had park damages .
Sure there will be folks here jump in and say " but it happened to ME" but this is a Internet forum and folks sometimes spin the facts to make a point or to create drama or just to be posting.
Go camping-quit worrying :)
