30 amp Surge protector?

Look what I just got in the mail! This thing is huge!! Will test her out tomorrow on 15 amp..

So,...our recently purchased 2013 Greyhawk has a SurgeGuard Model 34520 installed in the compartment under the queen bed in back. Does this negate the need for another surge protector coming off the service box at the campsite?

You good to go! Don’t buy anything else for protection. Do you have a surge monitor inside your RV that’s paired with the sugeGuard? If not it’s a good idea to at least buy a couple of plug in voltage meters to keep an eye on voltage drops and spikes. Put one by kitchen and one by bed.

Awesome! Thanks!

Admittedly, electricity is my downfall. What should the monitors typically read when NOTHING is being used, and do they retain a history of flow, or would I/we have to immediately look at the monitors to see what has transpired?

Hi Eric you didn’t mention if you had any type of monitoring display inside your RV?

Those plug-in meters, (I sent you a link to), just read the voltage. Ideally actual voltage will range anywhere from 114V to 126V from your outlet receptacle to operate appliances without damaging them. If you use these little meters, use them as a reference. You obviously are not going to stare at them all day, but as an occasional glance, if you see them way out of range something may be a wrong with an RV parks electric supply. To low is sometimes worse then a spike.
