A surge protector for the RV any suggestions on what I should buy?
You don't want just a surge protector but an EMS (Electrical Management System) that includes surge protection. You can't go wrong with a Progressive Industries EMS such as a portable EMS-PT30C or hard wire EMS-HW30C. Progressive has announced improved versions to be released in Jan so you might want to wait a bit before making your purchase.
DITTO on the Progressive EMS! Check out the hundreds of comments from owners on Amazon! That's how I knew my $60 surge protector was not going to protect me from the most common problem...UNDERVOLTAGE! It has a lifetime warranty and last summer in the 2nd campground I used it in , It cut the power to my TT at least 1 time a day because of serious under voltage of less than 104 volts. It turns it back on automatically when it comes up to safety standards. In the next campground, the problem was constant OVERVOLTAGE of more that 134 VOLTS and it shut me down!( Both of these were NY state parks and they were well aware of the issue)) Both of these conditions would have done long term damage to my AC and electronics worth thousands of $!. progressive is the best on the market, US made and a MUST investment for about $260!
Regarding covers, I feel strongly in keeping the TT covered when in storage over 1 month to keep the exterior finish and decals looking new and I have been happy with ADCO covers. Get the all climate one with Tyvek roof.. Has a 3 year warranty. My first one was a moderate climate one and it tore within the 2 year warranty and they gave me full credit toward the upgraded all climate one.
