50 amp Surge Protector

Any opinions on the best pedestal surge protectors? I had the Camco 55301 for my last camper but recently bought a new one that has 50 amp service. Thinking of getting the Camco 55306. They are kind of bulky. I'm not hardwiring one inline.

I also upgraded to a new rig with 50 amp service. I used to use the Hughes Autoformer 30amp unit and was going to upgrade to the 50amp unit.

One brand better than the other? Why?

The 30 amp Camco 55301 worked just fine but he bulk was an issue. Being bright yellow also brought unneeded attention.

are you asking for a comparison between the Hughes and the Progressive Industries EMS units?

Not sure about a comparison...If anyone knew if better, worse, same as a comparable PI unit.

Might not be an apples to apples comparison?
