Am very interested what recommendations are for line conditioning options and suggestions for 50 amp circuits while on the road, already had a bad experience and had to repair three appliances. Thanks Randy from Colorado

Progressive Industries EMS-HW50C Portable Electrical Management System - 50 Amp
This is a hardwired unit but they also have a portable model that plugs in.

do you know what type of electrical problem you had, where it happened, and what it damaged in the three appliances?

I sure do remember how it happened. We loaned our MH to our son who was homeless with his family for a couple weeks in between when he rented his home and when he left to go to Japan to teach law for a year.
We made an adaptor to use the outlet for an existing welder at the guys house where he parked the MH instead of using a preconfigured adaptor plug.
Wrong move..... got the Microwave, Vacuum, and a circuit board in the front AC that tied to the Furnace. Hope that is all that we find.

That makes this easy. It is already installed but displays do not work. Time to troubleshoot...
Thanks Randy

X4. Sounds like a major wiring error. Even the Progressive cannot stop everything.

In addition to the Progressive Electrical Management System, we recommend a Hughes Autoformer for complete peace of mind.
