Surge Protectors?
I have never used one but was wondering if I should be or are they a waste of money. Thanks, Griz14

Fact is, most RV owners are quite well served by all the protection a device such as a Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C or EMS-HW50C can offer
Why continue arguing? I said that - with reasons why we know this.
Others want a protector to do what a completely different device (called a surge protector) does. Or do things that even other devices (called protectors) also do not do.
Griz14 (and others) would select a protector using facts such as what threats exist and what it really does. That was defined at a layman level. Such answers can never be found in soundbytes or a few sentences. Others who cannot be bothered are best advised to pay for a professional to make that selection for them.
Meanwhile, Progressive is highly regarded because it effectively protects from typical 'surges' found in campgrounds. Will it protect electronics as another assumed? Some models will; some will not. Some anomalies are so rare as to be typically ignored.
