Surge Supressors

We bought a portable surge protector when we bought our FW. I used it a few times but never had an issue so I soon forgot about it and quit using it. Big mistake! We stayed in a recently refurbished RV Park in Tombstone AZ. As luck would have it, the pedestal had been mis-wired and we had an over voltage situation. The over voltage took out or microwave hood combo, central vacuum system, and a portable fan. I reported it to the owner and he sent an electrician to see what was wrong. I suppose I could have gotten the park top pay for the damages but I didn't push for it. They did give us one night free stay. I now use the protector every time I hook up to electricity.
