surge

Today's iRV2 digest brought me here after reading Best Way to Use Surge Protectors on 30 Amp Storage Power for 50 Amp RV, but I have somewhat of a different question to poll the group. I've always been very careful to seek out and use cruise ship approved power strips in our coach since they...

My storage unit for our Dutch Star will have 30 amp power. I have a Progressive Industries PT-50X 50 amp surge protector and a 30 amp surge guard (camping world). Dumb question but since my coach is 50 amp I guess I have 2 options but which is better: 1) Use a dog bone to go from 30amp...

What hard wired surge protector is recommended for a travel trailer?

Has anyone here installed a hardwired surge protector in the 2300MK? I’m planning to add one right away and would love to hear what others have done—placement, wiring tips, or anything to watch out for.

We have a 24 Atlas with e1 package. When we first used we had issues connecting to power when using our Progressive Industries PT30X surge protector so we stopped using it and everything has worked fine since. After polling some of the users in the Atlas facebook group it seems many are using...

I have a model 40250 Surge guard that’s driving me and wife nuts. This thing is pretty annoying with it’s load hum or buzz. Trying to go to sleep with this is right under our bedroom you need to have a radio going to distract from the noise. I’ve looked in the paper work that I have for but...

Hi All, Please read this, it will save you bunches of $$$ I have been camping my entire life (I'm in my 60's now) I have never had any electrical issues in any campground. I did mostly boondock off the grid so in my defense I didn't spend a lot of time in a campground so I never thought twice...

Since I know a lot of forum members also have utility type or boat trailers with surge brakes I have a question. I bought a really nice boat trailer that had been sitting for 10 years. It has Titon Model 60 surge brakes and I towed it home but I knew that the brakes probably weren't working...

I've been clicking the "report" button for the last few weeks on posts that are obvious scammers. The posts are always some version of "girls in your area for sex" and have links in the post. I'm very surprised that skoolie.net's filters aren't automatically blocking these posts. Also, why...

Power started going on and off, went off and a while later there was a power surge, something popped and flashed at my entertainment center. Power is back on but nothing works at entertainment center, think its all fried. And same goes for tv in bedroom. Gfi also blew needs replacing. No I...

New RV'er here. Hit our first two campgrounds this past week; and talking to other experienced campers, it was highly recommended that we get a surge protector for our rig. 2021 No Boundaries 19.5, 30 amp 110v hookup. It was highly recommended that we get an auto resettable surge protector...

I have a 2021 Jayco Eagle HT 24RE Is it necessary to use a after market surge protector when plugged in or is my system protected internally??

Over 9 years now, I have gone through 6 EMS type 50 amp surge protectors and after a year or 2, they all have failed me, giving false readings that often cuts off the power, sometimes for only a few seconds then turn back on. So I am fed up with these things, some that cost over $300. Have you...

Hello, new to the RV community. Just purchased my first RV last week. I have a Power Watchdog surge protector and it works fine. The question that I have is where the surge protector connects to your trailer electrical plug, it is exposed to the elements. When it rains, do I need something...

Hello - My wife and I are taking our first cross-country trip in our 2019 Flagstaff 29RKWS from Utah to Boston. As I look up different sites on RVLife, the power hookups range from 30 amps to 50 amps. I'm just confirming that we need to get a 50-amp surge protector, as we will be going to...

Question, while I was packing up today I noticed my surge protector was indicating Missing L1 120v. All my appliances worked, slide went in like normal. All my functions on my puma travel trailer. So I unplugged from the surge protector and turned off brake to the pole. I turn it back on and the...

Hi, I'm in the market for a lightweight trailer and have my eye on Jay Feather Air or Micro. I'm ignorant about braking —*do I need a brake controller on this model or surge brakes? How should I approach the dealership about this? Thanks! :help:

I am new to this and bought the "Geargo" RV surge protector 30amp. I then read somewhere in reddit these are no good and that no surge protector under $200 is any good. So before I buy something expensive to dangle off the power pole and potentially get stolen I am wondering what is everyone's...

I hate to start a new thread but I haven't seen my question posted before. It could be that it's a simple question with a logical answer that I'm unaware. Anyway, we've owned a 2015 Jayco White Hawk since new and got an upgraded 30 amp surge guard as a present last December. I've always used a...

I'm looking at Xantrex Freedom X 3000w and a Samlex PST-3000, both 12v. The Xantrex specs state surge is 6000w >2seconds. Home The Samlex specs state surge is 6000w <8ms https://samlexamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/12001-PST-3000-12-24-1119_Hrez.pdf This SMA is 100ms...

I've researched how to calculate my load and needs, but before I actually order my inverter/charger, I'd appreciate a little reassurance of my understanding of how all this is supposed to be calculated and/or correction of my math. The inverter I'm considering is the Xantrex xc 2000 with a...

Price $165 I posted this on craigslist, but this forum is probably a better place. See the ad on craigs list at: https://poconos.craigslist.org/for/d/white-haven-progressive-30-amp-ems/7180805341.html My new 5.0 TA has EMS built in. Private message me if interested and we can connect. Thanks, Padre

Hey all, had a bit of an idle surge on my bus since I got it. Surges about 50-100 RPM, probably a little less but it’s very audible. Was going to just adjust the buffer screw and reset the idle but I just noticed the ammeter is the surging in synchronization with the engine. That points to it...

Surging at idle? VIDEO ATTACHED So I’ve got a 1988 GMC Bluebird Short Bus. Runs well, no issues with it really, except it surges at idle, especially when you first start it up. Evens out a little bit if it’s been running a while. No issues at all while driving. Maybe about 100-200 RPM, tops...

As promised, here is the install on the HW50C specific to a GD Solitude 310GK. I know there are competing thought on IF this is actually necessary but I feel it is worth the $ and effort to ensure we are protected. I also prefer it installed inside so I don't ever have to worry about the...
