Have to agree with Bumpy,an EMS is really good and cheap insurance, if you factor in loosing some of your electronics on your RV.
Progressive Industries is the best on the market,American made and a Lifetime Warranty.

The warranty is fantastic! I have two and both have been repaired or replaced several times. Always promptly and without question. They are very suseptible to moisture. That would be a show stopper without the great warranty service.
The portable Progressive Industries EMS units are really well sealed but certainly not infallible if exposed to the elements over the long term and that's where that lifetime warranty really helps. Obviously this isn't an issue with the hard wire models which are intended to be installed inside the rig somewhere. However, the hard wire versions offer another advantage rarely mentioned in these discussions - they're field serviceable, meaning that if it fails you don't have to mail it in for repair. Rather, just call Progressive and they'll mail you out by USPS the repair part that you can install yourself. This is a particular advantage for those of us who don't live in the US as it means we don't have to deal with all the attendant cross border shipping issues.
The portable versions are certainly the most convenient to use but for me the hard wire version was the better choice. :B
