Electrical Question
I have a 30amp TT can I just hardwire a 50amp surge protector, and will that protect 50, 30, and 20 amp?????

I expect the 50a will cost more.
We went from a 30Amp trailer to a 50Amp trailer last November.
The new 50Amp surge protector, a 50Amp extension and a up-connector adapter (30 pedestal -> 50) cost about $450.
It would have been a waste to buy that when I had a 30Amp trailer. And dangerous - a 30Amp trailer needs 30Amp protection - not 50Amp.
Sold my 30Amp surge protector, 30Amp extension and down-connector (50 pedestal -> 30) for $200.
The big difference is that all that 50Amp cable weighs about 4 times as much as the 30Amp cable.
