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

wilcamp...I looked at Camping World n-line info but didn't see the lock case you mentioned. Can you supply a link to this info.
That lock case being referred to is for a TRC Surge Guard ... I've got one and it's just a plastic box that could easily be destroyed with one quick hammer hit. It wouldn't be suitable for use with a Progessive EMS-PT30C or EMS-PT50C anyway as you wouldn't be able to read the error display on the front panel of those units. The Progressive Industries portable EMS-PT30C & EMS-PT50C instead come with a metal tab through which you can fit your own lock. Anyone really concerned about theft should instead buy a hard wire version OR if they really do want the versatility of a portable unit wire it into the trailer using standard 30 amp (or 50 amp) connectors so the unit can be used inside the trailer but be removed for use outside anytime, as preferred. I did this myself with my first unit, a Surge Guard #34730.
