Progressive industries hard wired is what I like. Have a 50a one with remote display installed and it saved up several times the last two seasons. Well worth the money. PI are USA made and lifetime warranty!

We bought a 30 amp hard wired SurgeGuard brand from Camping World. Fairly easy install too.

This is what I use, obviously not hardwired but does the trick.

Another vote for Progressive Industries. The maker of choice among many on this forum.

I have the PI hardwired in my motorhome. I think that any of them are good, just be sure and get one that tells you why it shut down. Otherwise you're just guessing.

I use a Franks Autotransformer for surge protection and voltage stabilization boosting.
Voltage Booster
See my review in the product review forum. Love it after all these years.
The 50 amp unit is just a bit bigger as both legs are boosted and protected.

I use the
surge guard 34750 . I'm guessing you have 50 amp, if your rig is a 30 amp, then most of these options presented have 30 amp options.

It would take a little hassel out of setting up and I wouldn't have to worry about someone "walking" off with it.

Surge protector recommendations
I purchased a Surge Guard Model 34730 at Camping World a few days after picking up our new FR3 (our first motor home) I did a lot of research and this unit seemed to be the best choice.

the Progressive Industries units offer superior protection and only brand with lifetime warranty. Here is a good chart showing a comparison between brands.
