I'd like to know if anyone has or have used this particular surge protector. I found one of these for $200. From my research that's a really good deal.
Looking for towards ya'lls replays.

I would strongly ask you to consider the EMS from Progressive Industries. It is an electrical management system versus a surge protector. The Progressive Industries EMS also has a lifetime warranty along with excellent support.

I have that and it works well for me. I use it on nearly every trip that I plug in for.

X3 on a Progressive Industries EMS unit. More than just a surge protector. Spend a few more bucks and get the best.

The unit pictured is more than just a surge protector. As far as I can tell they do pretty much the same. However it has a three year warrant vs a lifetime warranty on the progressive unit. I think I will get the one everyone has suggested because of the warranty, it's the only difference I can see. Thank y'all

I use the Progressive Industries EMS and love it. Was camping this past weekend with upper 90 temps. The EMS shutdown due to low voltage probably 10 times. It was annoying, however it was a good thing.

Until you get an EMS, you won't realize how crappy some of the campgrounds' power is.

The only thing I will say about that is this.
