Re: Surge Protectors or not??
But it did jump and take out the converter, led lights in the entertainment slide, and the EMS. It also knocked off the main breaker in a he camper, and the breaker on the pedestal. So, it may have come through the 110 circuit also. The EMS may not have done diddly-squat, but to me having it is just like having insurance.419Views0likes0CommentsRe: Surge Protectors or not??
Geez, didn't want to start WW3, just happy my Montana didn't burn down! The Progresive is advertised to handle up to a lightning strike, and we got one. I don't know if it did or did not help, but it has also cut power before in low voltage, and a new one has already been installed. I don't think the guys in the shop are 'lectric engineers, but I do trust their work.419Views0likes0CommentsRe: Surge Protectors or not??
Another Progressive HW-50 tale. Three weeks ago while we were camp hosting @ Cumberland Mtn. State Park in Crossville, Tn., there was one lightning strike that hit the campground during a storm. It struck two trees about 80' from our camper, dug a ditch through the ground about 30' to our satellite coax, then into the camper. It took out our TV, satellite coax,satellite box, 3 led lights,the converter, and my EMS. Needless to say, our hosting job ended two weeks prematurely. The mechanics in the shop think that the Progressive unit probably saved the camper. JT278Views0likes0CommentsRe: Fifth wheel hitch problem - uncoupling
I also have a Husky 16K. It is the slide bar type, and if you aren't high-hitched, it seems to be nearly impossible to come loose. The key is always take your time, don't be distracted, visually check, and always perform a pull test. This definitely doesn't mean that I won't eventually drop my fiver, but I hope it makes it less likely.289Views0likes0Comments
