A common surge protector is meant to absorb (or dump really) a quick, momentary rise in voltage. I suspect that when a XFMR fails you may get lots of voltage over an extended period of time - maybe several seconds or more. A standard SP would just die during an episode like that.
For protection of that nature you need a device that senses the high (or low) voltage and shuts down power to your RV.
