OK, you convinced me that the Progressive Industries is the way to go.
I should say that I am not just looking for surge protection... but all the power protection (low/high/mis-wire/surge/etc.)
I think the hardwired version is best. I don't need the remote LCD display. I have a dinette seat and below that is the cord storage area and junction box. Easy access and should be an easy swap out (junction box). I am not worried about the install. That is easy straight forward.
On shore power I would not be worried, but a bad interaction with the generator would be bad news. Can anyone elaborate as to why/how that generator (which I think was a Honda or Yamaha inverter) reacted to the power protection and what you did to resolve it? Was it that the generator did not have a ground wire from the frame terminal to earth? Was it because there were parallel generators?
Thanks.
