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...

To the OP ...
If you're still inclined to discount the argument that source power errors are much more common that many would think and that investing in a full featured EMS is an unnecessary expense you might want to take a look at pics of my own Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C. A series of 10 pics start here, including 2 pics which clearly show an open ground event and another showing a low voltage event. Pundits can deny all they want, reality is I see numerous errors throughout each season, both while camping and while the trailer is parked here at home and plugged in 24/7. An EMS, while not perfect, is IMO an absolute essential for any RV owner that ever intends to plug into shore power. Invest in an EMS and the first time it saves your bacon you too will agree. ;)
Nice setup! That doesn't look like it would be hard to install. Some of the stuff I've seen required a lot more wiring.
I'm not discounting the need for an EMS at all. Honestly, I've never even considered any type of protection until I saw the unit I posted come through my email. As mentioned, I'm still learning about the whole RV'ing thing and slowly but surely adding things to my arsenal. Thank you for sharing the photos.
