Surge Protection

[zzuroweste1]

Do I need a surge protector on my 3400...if so what type...what is the cost....and where should I get it.

Some people never have used surge protection and have had no problems.It isn`t neccessary but it is good insurance if a problem does arise.I have a 50 amp protable surge guard.Camping World sells them,but they can be had a little cheaper else where also.I payed $299 for mine.

I would strongly recommend a surge protector and as harleyrider said you can find them at Camping World or you can get the names from their web site and search for a better price on the web. Personnally I have both a surge protector and an autoformer to cover low voltage and have about $600 invested in both, but my Mountaineer is only 35 Amps so if you have 50 Amp service it could be more. I was at the lake a couple of years back and a real nasty thunderstorm left me as the only unit in the campground that did not need to call an insurance agent to get my electrical system repaired (and unfortunately a couple of older RV's actually caught fire and burned up). I have 50 amp service at the house (for when we upgrade or my parents visit) where I know the wiring and I still plug both units in.

ZZ,

I do have one and could tell you several stories from people who wished they had them before it was too late for them.

If you were to want a 30 Amp Mod. Camping World has the hard wired model on their Web site at a blow out price of $179 and $1 shipping. Good for a few more days.
