Ron, I use a Progressive Industries in-line surge protector, and do really like it. I did quite a bit of research before deciding on this one. For me, I wanted the in-line protector, so that any surge would be stopped on the outside, instead of getting to the inside of the RV.

They also have the hardwired surge Protector.

RV Parts Center had the very best pricing I found for this unit.

These Progressive Industries surge protectors do so much more than just "surge protect". Read the specs.! Just one simple thing they do is show in the display the actual amp draw on each power leg. That info can come in pretty handy at times. The "joules" level of surge protect is also higher than most of the others I looked at.

Finally, I had a problem caused by my 5er wiring that overloaded and melted the surge protector female connection. The factory replaced the surge protector under warranty!!!!

Good luck!
