I always keep my camper ready to roll when I'm home. Truck fueled, fridge stocked, fresh tank filled and shore line plugged in. I do it for spur of the moment trips and the fact that I live in earthquake country.
One thin I had been thinking about was keeping my Progressive Industrie EMS Tk-30 inline from the house to the camper.
Last night we had a city wide power outage. I went out and switched the fridge to propane from AC and I looked at the shoreline and thought "I better put the EMS on now" I'm glad I did Power came back on for a few seconds then went back on then went off multiple times in a row. before it finally stayed on. It was never on long enough for the EMS unite to analyze and send power to the camper. No way to tell if the surges would have damaged the camper or not but I had a nice piece of mind sleeping. I think I am going to leave it hooked up that way from now on.
Good Job Buzzcut1/Drew. I bought my Progressive Industries EMS-PT30X a couple years ago after seeing your EMS and asking you a few questions about it. I also leave my camper plugged in while at home and use the EMS all the time. The cool thing about it, is that it will store power errors in the memory, and you can see what happened (low voltage brown out, high voltage spikes, ect.) until you clear the memory as a Previous Error code. I found this out after researching a code I saw while walking by the power cord to the camper (PE4 vs E0) which was a low voltage that has since been corrected.
