Surge Protector

I’ve had good luck with THIS one.

My path is a little different.

autoformer with better surge than PI or SG-->Magnum inverter/charger(limited to 24 amps)-->RV

Why? Because the main cause of damage is low voltage, and the current popular surge devices disconnect at a voltage that may cause damage.

I use both. pedestal/autoformer/PI EMS/trailer

MeToo - I use both. pedestal/autoformer/PI EMS/MH

Progressive EMS. total protection, not just against surge. either portable or hardwired. i went portable, just so i could plug it in at pedistal to know if there were problems before setting up. best there is and has a lifetime warranty.

Same one I purchased. After pouring over the reviews, I decided to spring for the portable version. The one I received has an anti theft ring attached. so I can secure it to the power pedestal. Can't go wrong with the Progressive EMS and the lifetime warranty was a major reason to choose it.:C

The new autoformers protect better.

I use the Southwire/TRC hard wired one.. I'd rather have a Progressive Industries HW-50C but due to a rather impressive sale the one I have was about half the price...

Why Hard wired: Outta Sight of sticky fingers out of mind.
You NEVER forget to plug it in
And it works well.. And yes it has already discovered an issue that COULD have caused me problems.. except it shut me down.. I reported it to the park and they found ... A screw loose. They tightened but I've not yet returned to the sight.

I had a portable but .. Well. it suffered from exposure Plus I had to outside to look at the display (The modern ones have a radio remote display) the hard wired has a hard wired display that's on my info/control panel INDOORS.. Kind of nice
