Just paid for itself, but one converter box too late.So, we batted about for a year or so trying to decide if we would spend the money to get one of these. Decided we didn’t really need it. We were wrong. At some point, not sure when, we got hooked up to some dirty power and fried the converter box in our camper. Took us a bit of time to figure that was the problem when we kept smelling “hot wires” intermittently. $300.00 later (the new circuit/converter box) and the couple days in extreme heat to replace the burned out box, we took the plunge and bought this. On the very next trip, it saved us from another “dirty power” situation and probably saved the new converter box as well. Would definitely recommend

That my electronics are safer than beforeSuper simple to use. Yes it’s pricey, you get what you pay for but I feel that it could have been cheaper. I pay top dollar for quality products, just felt that this one in Particular is somewhat cheaply made.Do I think it will last? Yes!Do I think it’s bulky? Yes!Does it do its job? Yup!I recommend this product to anyone that values their RV electronics (ie. Air conditioner, TVs, etc.)It’s just like having a power surge for your badass gaming computer or entertainment center.

Southwire Surge Guard Portable 30-Amp – Paid for itself the 1st useWe used this product on our last outing August 2019. It was in use during a thunder storm and protected our RV. There were a few severe lightning strikes right around the campground. I knew the Southwire Surge Guard took care of the surges. The people 2 sites down from us did not have a similar surge protector and they lost their inverter/charger. Thank you Southwire. The Southwire Surge Guard is worth every dollar.

Needed to modify to attach cordWhy is there a hinged cover over the outlet for the RV cord? The cover provides no weather protection in use and the unit would not be outside without a cord. The cover prevented my plug from fully inserting so I removed the cover, after finding the right size torx driver. But, I like the features, especially the BT remote so that I can see parameters from inside the trailer.

It’s a must.Wouldn’t go camping without it, there are to many electronics in campers anymore and they are expensive to replace. This surge protector checks the circuit before you even plug in your camper and then continues to monitor the system for both high and low power spikes. You can tell at a glance if it’s working, if the green light us on, you are good to go.

Must have!!!!My wife and I just purchase a new TT. We wanted something that was going to protect our investment. Good thing we did. The campground we were at had a faulty wire and the surge protector caught it and didn’t send power to our TT. We got with campground management and had them repair the faulty ground wire and all was good. Best money spent to protect our investment.

Works greatEasy to set up and the digital information was a great visial. It also has an attached ring that can be chained to the power supply to keep it from walking off.

Must have….…For control and protection of power to RV at campground. Lots of useful screen info about incoming power as well as surge protection and cutoff/restore if voltage gets sketchy. Will not hook up to unfamiliar power without it. Considering another to use between backup generator and house during storm power outages to protect sensitive home electronics etc. when on a potentially fluctuating genny.

They sent a used product, supposed to be new!. Will send backCame in box with zip ties that hold it in box cut. Item lose in box . Holes in box where plug prongs cut through.Plug prong weathered an tarnished from use..I don’t know if someone returned it after using it because it wasn’t working or simply used it and didn’t want it.It seems to work ,but they advertise as new product, so I will return it for refund. For $385.99 I definitely will not take a chance and feel I can’t trust this company.Review of product is low but the product itself is probably ok. Really needed it for rv this weekend but will have to send it back.

EXCELLENT DEVICEWhile expensive this device provides great confidence. Monitors all aspects of power supply including frequency and under voltage which I really wanted and is not available in all surge protectors. This device is rugged and easy to install. Used it all summer with no issues. I really like that it has a life time guarantee and my protected appliance and covered as well.
