Thanks for the info. What 50 portable unit surge protector would recommend. I would like a protector that shows the lights clearly and that are easy to read.

Where is the list of anomalies that are a concern? So many different devices address a long list of unrelated items - all called a surge.

For example, a blackout is hyped as a surge. Do you need protection from that? Low voltage is a surge. Is that a concern? Reverse polarity - a surge.

The thing hyped as a surge to homeowners is typically completely different from what concerns most at a campground.

So greater concerns are reverse polarity, disconnecting from a voltage so low as to be harmful to motorized appliances, disconnecting from a high voltage (ie floating neutral), and disconnecting if the safety ground does not exist.

Whereas homes are more concerned with surges such as lightning, then many campground protectors do not address that surge. Home also do not worry about low voltage. Another anomaly not addressed by a protector for homes that is a concern in campgrounds.

Long before asking for a solution, first identify the solution. The Progressive products are popular, in part, because those protectors are good at addressing type of surges more commonly found in campgrounds.

One anomaly that protectors cannot detect is an open earth ground at the pole.
