Surge Protector and Extension Cord
Hello I'm just getting back into rving so have a bit of a fog brain, I used to have a class c, sold it and now I have a 24 foot travel trailer. It seems to me I used to use a 10 gauge 30 amp rated...

I too installed my portable TRC Surge Guard inside the camper by cutting the main service cable just after it enters the coach and adding a set of 30 amp connectors to the ends. The SG sits under the sofa. out of sight, out of mind, but obviously protected from theft yet can be removed entirely in seconds should it ever fail.
That said, I just ordered a Progressive hard wire EMS to which I'll add 30 amp male & female connectors so I can plug it in just as I've been plugging in the TRC. As an aside, the reason I'm making the change to the Progressive hard wire version is that the circuit board inside is field replaceable, meaning should it ever fail I can fix it myself. With any of the portable units, be it Progressive or TRC, the entire unit has to be returned to the manufacturer for repair.
