The OP doesn't have just a surge protector, he has an EMS w/surge protection - BIG difference. The former can check for a number of campsite source errors but has no ability to do anything about it, in which case if one plugs one of these units into source power, notes an error as indicated by the lights, but then continues to plug the trailer into the unit then obviously what ever error has been detected (an open ground for example) will be passed on to the trailer. :E An EMS prevents this as any error detected will cause the unit to not pass power to the trailer - which is exactly what happened to the OP.
Thanks! That's my point. If a cheap surge protector indicator says voltage or current is bad, why proceed and face the risk of damage to the pricey appliances in your rig.
