50 amp surge protectors

Thank you. We actually have both too. The Surge Guard transfer switch hard wired into our old MH and new one as well. It monitors power surges and low power and miswired shore power.

We still use our Progressive portable we've owned for over 8 years. Plugging it into the shore power and then hook up the rigs 50 amp. Last rig we had a issue with the Surge Guard hard wired unit kept cutting the power at different campgrounds more than once. My assumption is it wasn't calibrate. Had it checked numerous times. All the while the Progressive at the post never shut down.

The hard wired Surge Guard was 3-4 volts high and would trigger if the shore power was running high. We checked the post with a multimeter and it was always different than what the hard wired Surge Guard transfer switch showed. I've heard other people also have had the same issue with the hard wired Surge Guard.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Sharing information can never hurt anyone.

That's interesting. I actually replaced my Surge Guard transfer switch/surge with a higher end 40350-RVC last year because the factory 41260 was only "limited" protection. The new one reads inside and I compare it to the EMS and if I remember they are consistent.

Both Surge Guard and the Progressive Industries have worked fine for us except for those annoyances I pointed out earlier about the Progressive Industries. Specification wise, there is probably no advantage to one or the other if comparing similar models, so I guess your experience supports my point actually. Chevy or Ford, they both do the job, but different folks have different experiences. A person has to be aware what's available, research a bit, then decide. Testimonials are probably the least reliable information.
