Progressive Industries EMS PT30x Pricing - Canada

Hi All,
Well, probably similar to most of you, we are anxious to hitch up and head out. In the meantime, we are looking for a quality surge protector and pretty much landed on this model, for a few reasons.
They are quite expensive however, so I am wondering if anyone has seen a best price that is exceptional. Best I can find is $251US. I am having trouble finding anyone in Canada who ever stocks this brand but they WILL order for about $600!!!!. I may have to order directly in the US (in US $$...uggggggh!) and rip down to the border to pick it up. Anyone with better ideas?
Thanks
Glen

    I came across both when doing a simple google search.


    Good for you, but neither one of those links are for Canada.

    Thanks for the US recommendations. Not quite the unit I was looking for as that is the PT30C, whereas I've decided on the newer PT30X. Probably very close but I prefer some of the new features not included in older units. I think the 30C is a discontinued product now, IRC.
    I don't mind a US site as I can always have it sent free to the US-Canada border and go pick it up, if necessary.
    Thanks

    We ordered from Adventure RV Center in Chilliwack (604-823-4500) and paid $487 CDN (including taxes) for the Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C.

    Any dealer here in Canada who buys from NTP / Stag can get you any Progressive EMS model that you want within a day. Current price for an EMS-PT30C is around $500 Cdn + tax, a bit more for the newer PT30X which functionally isn't any different. The PT30C may have been "discontinued" by Progressive but obviously will be available for some time yet as wholesale distributors still have plenty in stock.

    Thanks all, for your insight and assistance. By a stroke of luck, I found one from a private seller on Ebay, at a very fine price indeed.:)

    A "fine price" may seem like a great deal but keep in mind the unit you purchased won't be covered by the Progressive Industries Lifetime Warranty. ;)
