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.

We were lucky enough not to have any power problems at campgrounds since we started camping in 1988. But after buying our new rig this past summer, I decided to buy a Progressive Industries 30 Amp Portable Electrical Management System:

Althought they're not cheap, it's better to buy one than having damage to the ac, converter, fridge or electronics gear.
We've never needed a generator as we camp in campgrounds and parks with power.
So, you will have to decide where you will be taking your rig and whether you need to invest in a generator. If you do, buy a good one as they are better, quieter and will last. Beware of all the cheapo imports that are on the market...not really good for use with RV.
