Pedestal has you covered.
True, though there are three things I'd potentially be worried about:
1) I've heard that some RV parks might have pedestal lacking the proper protections.
2) I'll occasionally be plugged into a generator. It's 3500W, which theoretically cannot output more than ~30A, but I've heard it can surge at certain times like when it's running out of gas.
3) There could be a short somewhere in the wires prior to the breaker panel, which would fry the inverter.
I'm less concerned about #1, because I have a Progressive Industries EMS that I plug into the pedestals which offers its own surge protection. And #2 doesn't seem like that large a risk. But #3 alone (a short circuit) seems to warrant the installation of another fuse or breaker prior to the inverter.
