Hard wired surge protector - where to install?

I will not be picking up my new Montana Mountaineer until March but I have been doing extensive reading and research on what I am going to need to add to it and the common consensus is that a surge protector is highly desirable. This raised some questions for me.

Firstly, I note that on my Mountaineer the power input receptacle is on the back of the RV. Does this make sense from the point of view of where the power hook-ups are in most camp grounds and if not not has anyone moved theirs and where to?

Secondly, I think I would prefer to install a hard-wired surge suppressor so that it is just one more thing that doesn't have to be hooked up every time and cannot be pinched. This raises the question of where do you install it if the hook-up is on the back of the RV? Does anyone know where the 50A wiring goes from the input receptacle and where the best place to put the surge protector is?

Thanks
Craig
