I theoretically agree with Y'All about the importance of
checking/monitoring campground power supplies. And I've got an in-line
surge protector for my 30A X-Birchaven, though I very rarely think to use
it.
BUT, the fact is that I've been RVing, in tent trailers, travel trailers,
and motorhomes, from Key West to Fairbanks, & E. Coast to W. Coast, since
1958 (actually back to 1942, but without much travelling). I have NEVER
had ANY electrical equipment damage from the power source. Call me Lucky,
but with that history behind me, I find it difficult to become very
concerned and devote much energy or funds to "solutions". My worrying's
generally confined to reversed polarities and incorrect grounding.
