The main purpost to buy a surge protector is to 'prevent damage to the electrical system and appliances' within your RV.
Just make sure you read ALL the specs on the one you decide to buy. The less expensive and I have even seen some of the pricey ones also.....thatdo NOT come back on when tripped.
Which negates the whole reason a seasonal camper would buy one just to keep food safe.
The cost and inconvenience to repair damage far exceeds the few minutes it takes to turn everything on when you arrive. And come on, waiting a few hours for a fridge to cool down is not a camping crisis.
Is your seasonal site near the chain o lakes area?
Definitely not a crisis... but a huge inconvenience when coming up every weekend so good thing the SSP-30 automatically resets. Good point.
We're a mile from Devil's Lake.
Stop by and visit sometime.
