Yes, we have one and use it all the time. We just use a 50 to30 amp dog bone to hook up to 30 amp service. It has disconnected us several times for surges. The most recent was last week when we had 50 mph winds here in So. Texas. Presumably it was due to a surge, possibly wires touching in the wind, just a guess. It will automatically reset in about 3 mins. We went with the portable ine so it is outside our rig. We had a friend who suffered a surge several years ago and it burned up his inverter, some wiring and appliances and he had smoke coming out of his MH!! Saw a pix on the web tha showed one of these surges protecters that nearly melted from a surge. Decided We would rather have that kind of failure outside the rig. We chain and padlock the proterter to the pedestle to discourage theft. CW sells a padlockable device the goes over the ends of the proctecter and power cord. We bought one only to find it did not fit!! Apparently the design of the ends on the protector was changed and now it is too large to go in the device. So if you decide to buy one be sure to keep your receipt!! We also have one of the cheap voltage meters that plug into a 110 recepticle to eyeball line voltage for what its worth. Safe travels, Jay and Kathy
