50 amp to 30 amp & Surge Protector
I noticed a few places on my route only have 50amp service available... I bought a "dog-bone" (50 amp to 30 amp adapter) however, I was curious if my 30amp surge protector will still function properly...

I've only had trouble with a 30 amp connection once, and was very happy I had the 50 to 30 dog-bone as it was hot and I wanted to run the AC. The EMS-PT30X won't have any issues with it.
240V isn't the same thing as 50 amp. 50 amp is the same 110 (approx.) volt as either your trailer or your house. 240 volts is a higher voltage and one that would damage your trailer regardless of the amperage.
The common house-hold 240 volt plug looks the same as the 30 amp plug at a campground, and your power line could plug into it. The main times I hear about problems like this is when an electrician is installing a 30 amp service at your house, and doesn't pay attention to what he is doing so that he hooks it up to 240v (the most common household use for that type of plug). When I had mine put in, I made sure to plug in the Progressive Industries EMS first, just to verify he hooked it up correctly (he had).
