See what our Experts say about this Hughes Autoformers RV Surge Protectors

  • Where Should The RV Surge Protector Be Plugged In When Using An RV Power Cord Adapter
    Hi Bernadette, You would want to plug your 50 amp to 30 amp adapter in to the power pedestal and then connect your Portable Power Watchdog Surge Protector # HU42VR to the adapter. Once the Watchdog lights show that the connection is good you can connect the trailer power cord to the surge protector. If you don't have a 50 amp to 30 amp adapter you can use the # A10-5030FBK.

  • Will the Portable Power Watchdog Surge Protector HU42VR Send Notifications Over WiFi?
    Yes, that is correct Tom! So long as the Portable Power Watchdog Surge Protector item # HU42VR is connected to WiFi you'll get notifications assuming your phone also has signal. If you have any additional questions feel free to throw them into the comment box below.

  • How Does the Portable Power Watchdog Surge Protector # HU42VR Connect to Wifi
    Hey William, you would actually use your phone to connect to the wifi signal that the Portable Power Watchdog Surge Protector # HU42VR puts out so that it communicates with it directly. So there doesnt need to be a data plan on your phone for a hot spot or wife nearby for this to connect to. If you weren't near the surge protector there wouldn't be a way to communicate with it and see how it's functioning.

  • Is The Power Watchdog Surge Protector App Free To Use?
    Hey Donald, Nope! The Bluetooth/WiFi app is free to download and free to use with the portable Watchdog Surge Protector # HU42VR. There will be a QR code on the front of the surge protector that you simply scan and it will get you all set up. I have used it myself and it is a fairly simple to use app. What kind of trailer/RV are you going to be using this on?

  • Can the External 30A Portable Power Watchdog Surge Protector be Locked
    Hey Harvey! Definitely a valid question - I'd hate to invest in something and run the risk of something happening to it. The Portable Power Watchdog Surge Protector # HU42VR has a loop at the bottom of the door that covers the connection so you can lock your power cord to the protector. An alternative to this is to use the hardwire version of the Power Watchdog Surge Protector # HU77FR which installs on the inside of your trailer as opposed to the outside.

  • What is the Joules Rating for the Watchdog Gen II Surge Protector
    Hey Becky, thanks for reaching out! The Portable Power Watchdog Surge Protector # HU42VR is the Gen II version and is rated for 2,300 Joules. The old Gen I 50A Watchdog was rated for 6,100 Joules which is I imagine where our mistake came from, and for that I apologize. I've got an update in to get the Joules rating corrected, so it should reflect that in the near future. Do you have any other questions for me?
