Generators and surge protectors
Howdy all, Another newbie question. How essential is having a generator and what kind would I want to look for? Along the same lines what about surge protectors? Thanks.
Forum Discussion
If always connected to shore power, then no need for generator.
Whether generator or shore power connected, I use a Surge Protector.
If my generator surges RPM, then my connected TT has high voltage protection.
If my generator drops too low of RPM (like dirty gas), then my connected TT has low voltage protection.
For a great "inline" Surge Protector device, recommend Progressive Industry hard-wire 30A or 50A device with remote display. re: - click here -
Does RV/TT need surge protection. NO. Should it have Surge protection? YES. IMO, surge protection is like insurance on a vehicle. Does one need it? NO. Must one have it? YES. Even basic Surge Protection at service post like SSP-30 ( - click here - ) is better than nothing.
