I too would not have one. The one I had shorted out and the repair people did a rotten job under warrantee. It shorted again only this time it caused HIGH voltage to go though the trailer and took out the Inverter. They would not stand behind their repair and cost me more then low voltage would have. A surge suppresser would be a better idea along with a wall meter to see what kind of voltage you have when hooked up.
