As far as wiring damage and someone mentioned "polarity," ha! Good luck on a "polarity" issue. Outlets in America run "AC" current, so "polarity" is a moot topic of discussion.

I would not be overly concerned about actual surge ratings as much as polarity, voltage and ground checks.

I take it that it is waterproof and can take the abuse of the outdoor elements and does the box need to be supported at the post or is that stubby cord strong enough to support it hanging?

There is a very good article to read on surge protectors if you want to read it......Here's the link.

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.
