Surge protector
I know the best kind are the ones which would be wired into the system, but saw this today and wondered if it would be any good. Is this a "better than nothing" or "you get what you pay for" situation...

You get what you pay for, which in this case isn't much. Yes, that particular model is a TRC surge protector but that's all it is - does nothing to protect your rig from the many electrical errors one can suffer with campsite power, particularly damaging low voltage. What you want is a fully featured EMS (Electrical Management System) that offers not only surge protection but protection from low / high voltage, reverse polarity, open neutral, open ground, etc, etc. TRC units have a one year warranty, those from Progressive have a lifetime warranty. It's your money, your choice. ;)
