Was gone from the camper for a couple days and missed all the excitement! Neighbors tell me the campground experienced a large electrical surge. They lost tvs, small appliances, AC units, etc.. I lost NOTHING! Surge protector apparently worked as designed and I'm very glad I spent that money! Already recouped the cost in not having to replace anything! Smiling in an AC camper while I watch tv!!!

What was the make of the surge protector that you have? Was their any damage to your surge protector?

I just have the Surge Guard 34750 but it worked and it received no apparent damage!

I have the older SG 30A model without LCD display and that has also protected me more than once before although not to the same degree that you were.Maybe this will convince some naysayers that it is worth the cost.
