Most of the people that say "I've been RVing for 25 years and never needed one" just don't realize they may have needed one. We camp in 100*+ temps and my EMS has shut me down on several ocassions for low voltage. I always ask the campers around me if they are seeing low power and not once have I had someone tell me yes (as they don't monitor nor have an EMS) At the other end of the scale , we frequent a state park that routinely experiences overpower at night and my EMS shuts me down. Only once have I talked to another camper there that had the same protection and experience. All the others I asked were unaware. You don't need a surge protector. If you are going to spend the money get a Progressive Industries EMS unit, portable or hardwired. JMO
