My camper took a big hit from a power surge when the power company was working on the lines nearby. It wasn't just the main power breaker on the pole that got fried, my power cable and socket on the camper, which is my home, were toast too. I got this surge protector few days ago, it looks water-resistant and well-made. I hope we never having to deal with that kind of damage again!

If you're serious about keeping your electrical system safe, this is a must-have. It's fantastic because it shows you the exact power output at different park pedestals - they can really vary! It's a no-brainer for anyone looking to protect the electrical systems in their trailers. For us, it's an essential!

You can't always tell what the power situation will be when you're out camping. Luckily, this unit is rated high enough to tackle most anything, and it's really affordable too.

The surge protector is just as it appears in the picture. It seems to be working great, and all the lights indicate it's doing its job. My main gripe is that the 30A plug has a round contact instead of the usual flat blade. Fortunately, I had an adapter that let me plug it into the 120V (110V) side.

I don't get why you'd spend double or triple the amount on a fancy name-brand item when this one tells me everything I need to know about power supplies. It's straightforward, does the job, and it's budget-friendly. Plus, the locking loop is a breeze to use for security. I'm happy with it.

My buddy, a former electrician, and his wife are enjoying life on the road in their RV. Last summer, they stopped by our place while camping, and he noticed I didn't have a surge protector for my camper. He insisted it's a must-have. I found this one and decided to give it a shot. I'm no expert in electricity, so I'll share my thoughts from a beginner's perspective.
I've been using this surge protector for about a month now, both at home and on a couple of quick trips. It's easy to set up: just plug it in and connect the RV cord. There's a clear guide that tells you what the lights mean, and so far, everything checks out fine. That's great, but it doesn't give me much to say about its performance.
If I ever get an alert from it, I'll be sure to update my review. The build quality seems solid, I'm not worried about it wearing out. The cord is well-insulated, and the plug feels sturdy. It's about the size of a regular RV adapter but has an extra compartment for the electronics.
I'm hoping to camp with my electrician friend again this summer and get his take on it. For now, I'm happy with it. It's like a small price for peace of mind, especially since I've been to places with dodgy power. I've heard portable generators can be risky, but I don't usually need one where we camp.
I've got all sorts of gadgets with me, and I want to keep them safe. For now, I'd say it's worth the investment.

I'm pretty fresh to the RV scene, just got my 2009 R-Pod this year. I joined a group on Facebook for owners and asked for tips for newbies. The first thing they told me was to "get a surge protector!" So, I'm glad I got this one. Haven't been on a camping trip with it yet, but I tested it out at the state park nearby. The instructions are clear and concise, and it quickly checks the current. It's got these yellow LEDs that light up to show different conditions like correct wiring or if there's an issue like reverse polarity or an open hot wire. In the close-up photo I posted, you can see the LEDs indicating correct wiring, and there's a blue LED that shows the surge protection is on. The LEDs are easy to see, even in the shade, and pretty visible in the sun too, especially the blue one. The plastic cover should keep it at least somewhat protected from the weather, maybe even make it waterproof. It's labeled for marine and RV use, and it meets the UL standards 817 and 1449. I reckon it's worth the money.

I appreciate how it checks the circuit first, giving me the green light to safely plug in the RV cord. It also has a feature to lock it around the power pedestal, keeping it safe from theft. The plug cover keeps the water out, making it weather-ready.

This really hit the spot for our RV. Sometimes you find stuff you never knew you needed, and this is definitely one of those. It doesn't eat up any extra space, and you might just find it essential. The waterproof cover is an added bonus.
