surge protector

Stupid question...won't the insurance package policy I have on my trailer pay for damage caused by a lightning strike, power surge etc?

I've done that sort of thing before as well. It's particularly aggravating later on when you realize the new owners either don't even know what they got when they bought the trailer or if they do they don't understand it's true value. Grrrrrr! :M

I recommend them. We had one on a previous camper and it saved us from frying our electrical system at a campground one visit. There was something wrong at the power pole, and it kept tripping the surge protector. We had the maintenance man come check it out, and we needed a whole new power pole at our site, which he promptly replaced.

Our PI PT30C is on the way. We had a SG on the 34 pusher and when it went down we were informed that there were no parts and no repairs available. Bought a new PI and loved it. We have just purchased a "hotel room" on wheels, Ar-One 15RB, and it is getting a PI. Like our $1,000,000 umbrella policy it may never be needed but it only takes one incident to cost you a lot of money.

Cheap Insurance; peace of mind when I see this....



Some CGs have trouble keeping up with the demand that modern units require. It has been "set off" a few times due to low voltage. That can be just as bad as a surge.


It was a very straight forward install, so I installed it myself. I liked this version over the one you use at the pedestal, because of rumors that the other kind gets stolen from time to time.

We didn't have one for the first 2 years we had our 5th wheel without an issue. We spoke to a neighbour in a campground that had a power issue that cost them several thousand dollars to repair. Bought one shortly after hearing this story. Cheap insurance.

You can get an auto former that boosts voltage if it's low as well but they are around $400.00. I got the Progressive EMS. That was enough insurance for me. Worth it for peace of mind.

I bought one... and I am a cheap Bast***

buy a multi-purpose surge protector, $250 and up, not the $90 special.

After you have a lightning strike very close to your RV, you will want a surge protector.
