Depending on the unit, yes and no. Some will, some won't. Progressive Industries has the best units, IMHO....Dennis

That's why I was asking about that particular unit. I followed his link and the product looks designed for household use. And, as another poster pointer out, for $50 it may be nothing more than a glorified surge suppressor.

$50! Not sure the capabilities of this product are adequate. You should do a little more research I would suggest.

I voted with MY money for this unit.

x2 Dennis.

A lot of people beleive that this should be done first thing....and even that the Mfgr should install them as part of the RV package.

I just went to a seminar about these, and they really do work, and they mentioned that the only draw-back, is that they take a couple of minutes to allow the voltage to pass through to the RV....something that can be a problem, if DW wants the A/C on right away:B
