My husband wants to go portable with the surge protector and I read where I believe Richfaa has the EMS-PT-50C that works with 30 or 50 AMP. Is that what we will need with our Cougar and one that would suit our needs well??? Are there any others that are just as good or better for a similar price??? Just looking for opinions/experience.
I am sorry for asking such a stupid question (LOL) but I am not sure what dictates the need for 30 or 50 amp - the campground electrical hookup OR the RV itself or a combination of both. I thought if we had a washer and dryer and two air conditioners, we would need 50 amp service but since we will not have a W&D and only one A/C unit, I thought we might only need the 30 amp service and power surge protector ???
I found the 50 amp one on line that I can get total with shipping for $340.31 and I thought that sounded like a fair price - is it??? Is it true if it is really needed just one time, the surge protector can potentially get "fried" and you will need to buy a new one (if it is past the year warranty)? Nevertheless, it will give me peace of mind and nice to know that we may not lose the ability to use our RV for some time due to it being repaired due to no power or worse yet even an electrical fire.
Around here we DO get a lot of electrical storms and power surges/loss of power. This device will cover issues with electrical storms, won't it??? I sure hope so! I can also see where you could get real issues with sudden bursts of power usage at campgrounds.
Thanks so much for being so patient and explaining things to someone who knows so little.
