One of the easiest ways to install is to replace the entry J-box with the EMS Surge Protector.
The entry J-box often connects the flexible cord to the romex that continues to the main panel.
Other common option is behind the main panel or in a compartment where the main power feed passes through.
When you say panel, you mean the converter, right? I'll check tommorrow, but my dilemma may be space. Behind the 30 amp receptacle happens to be underneath the fridge. I'd say the space is about 36" by 26".
Other than the j-box, which I'll hunt down tommorrow, that compartment contains (gulp) the water heater, the water pump, the outdoor shower, the circuit system for the slideout, and of course the bypass valves and all kinds of wiring/hoses.
On a sidenote, the other downside of the trailer is you cannot access these things with the slideout closed. Not even the fridge. You do have some exterior access however, through the shower, which BTW, I added a cool little conversion.
But that EMS-HW30C looks dang sweet with the romote display. I will add it if I can, though if it looks over my head, I'll need to pay someone. Maybe an electrician or RV dude. How many hours you figure?
Thanks for the great info.
