We used a different approach. Went to Lowe's and bought the highest rated surge protector that plugs into a wall plug. We put one on the Frig, M/W, Washer, TV, and Surround Sound amp.
We have been doing this for almost 20 years and have only had one instance where had to replace the surge things.
We do this at our house also. My thought is we do not have a surge protector on the house, and the plug in things work there, so do the same thing in the RV.
If you get the 50A one that plugs into the post, be sure you buy the lock for it. They will walk off if you leave them un-leashed.

Jim,
Although your theory is good, one big problem with CG power is that alot of times the posts are mis-wired, etc. plus the voltage has serious spikes up and down. The Progressive EMS will prevent the surge into the convertor or inverter. If either of these suffers a spike it could cook them and start a fire. There surge protectors you have on your outlets won't even see the spike because the convertor will have fried already.
Hard wired EMS with a remote display (if you cannot locate it locally where you can read it often) is the way to go!
