Surge Gaurd install

pretty straight forward. i put it inline with all AC power so it monitors the genny output as weel as the shore power connection, I even had enough wire in the factory harness so i didnt have to buy any new wires.

one thing i have noticed it has told on my power company twice with over voltages....above 132 volts. which will cause the guard to trip and protect the coach appliances

surgeguard

near 450 buckaroos, it goes on sale often, but money very well spent
I also use it to track actual amperage usage, you would be surprised what some things pull, i have seen over 90 amps when the a/c unit tried to restart right after it shut off. then the breaker pops
