OP Asked how many have Surge Guards? So, I will add to what others have posted.
Two major times and some minor post problems were caught by my Surge Guard.
In a park Oregon half the park had Browned out and the other half sustained a spike. We were in the half with the spike. Our traveling friends and our unit shut down when the spike hit. No damage. Several rigs around us lost AC units, TV, and refrigerators. Interesting note. It had taken me two years to talk my friend into purchasing a surge guard.
2nd time in Montana a lighting strike took out a transformer on a pole and the surge traveled down the lines to the park. A few more damaged units around. Only way we knew it had happened was a blink in our lights as we switched to battery and the hollering around us.
