Advice on Surge Protectors?

[Ductape_Dave]

After reading several horror stories on members electrical issues, I am going to purchase a portable surge protector. I wanted to know from users which one is better between the two. Its for a 30 amp service.

One is from Camping World #58464: portable 30 amp surge guard, surge protection by technology research corp.

The other is from: Progressive Industries, 30 amp portable surge protector #EMS-PT30C.

Both are in the $250 range, but the Progressive Industries one offers better protection according to there charts.

Whats your experience with these?

Thanks,
Dave

I bought the Progressive because SG did not have a 30a hardwire with remote.

I'm having a Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C hard wired into my 2013 LTV Unity MB. After much research its what I'm going with.

I also use a TRC Digital Line Monitor to check a circuit before plugging in.

I installed the EMS-HW30C, the hard wired version.

Link to my blog post detailing it

So far I'm very happy with it, although I recently became aware it doesn't protect against one type of improperly wired plug called Reverse Polarity Bootleg Ground. Seems none of the surge protectors can find this situation.

I'm in the process of learning more from Mike Sokol over at http://www.noshockzone.org/ and will update my blog.

http://www.noshockzone.org/ has some excellent RV electrical safety articles btw.

There have been several threads on this recently. I've owned both and will stick with Progressive Industries in the future because of their warranty and customer service.
