    I believe it’s extremely important that other channels also make sure they’re recommending products after they have been using them for an extended period of time as you have, not just for a paycheck and a free product. Well done Ross.

  • @scottfluke520

    Probably the first rv channel ever to state surge protectors are not the first line of defense, and oh how correct you are. The common issues aren’t protected by surge protectors. Revolutionary statement Ross. Makes ABSOLUTE sense.

      @RVTIPSANDTRAVELS  ปีที่แล้ว

      It is IP65 rated. You will be fine, but industrial plastic can be zip tied to the top cord and draped over. I’ve done that before with cheap surge protectors. I’ll try to find a picture for you.

    Ok, so I bought a used RV toy hauler and the previous owner had a surge protector with it. It’s a 50A surge protector but my camper is 30A. And I’ve been using a plug adapter to connect. Is this ok? Also, is the surge protector your using different than others? Mine is made by POWSAF. It’s 50$ compared to 200$ for the one you use. I’m not saying it’s not worth that. I’m just trying to learn the difference. Also, I do plug mine in at the campground power and turn the breaker on before I plug my RV into the surge protector to make sure there aren’t any issues. Sorry for the long post. Thanks for your help.
