Surge Protector location???

I'm planning to install a hard wired surge protector in our 2011 3400rl. We have a factory generator also. The question is, do I surge protect the power from the generator also. I think I should IMHO. That said, the surge protector should go between the transfer switch and the breaker box. Where is the transfer switch and does the cable from the shore power go all the way to the front where the generator is? Is there space near the generator to put the surge protector or would it be better somewhere else like under the stairs?

Thanks.

Walt

Can't speak for your model year, but on our old 2007 3400RL the transfer switch was in the battery compartment. I had the surge suppression (Progressive EMS) on the main feed line from the transfer switch, it protected both inputs that way. I mounted the EMS in the battery compartment as well.
