While a basic surge protector will keep your RV electronics safe from power spikes, the Power Watchdog will alert you if there are any other problems. Use the smartphone app to monitor your system and get notified if low or high voltage is detected.

Protect your investment
If you aren't using a surge protector, you're taking a big risk. While spikes caused by lightning can damage your electrical system and appliances, there are common electrical issues that can be just as dangerous. Choosing a surge protector with advanced features will help you protect your RV.
Beyond Basic Surge Protection
The most affordable RV surge protectors will provide basic protection from voltage spikes caused by lightning or other transmission issues. They can typically withstand a few minor spikes, or only one major spike, before they need to be completely replaced.
Power Watchdog surge protectors go beyond the basics. Plug it in before connecting your RV to get a clear indication of any wiring issues at your park pedestal. In the event of a major spike, you can replace the surge protection module itself rather than the entire unit. The modules are plugged in without soldering, so you don't need to be an expert electrician to make an easy repair. In fact, the only tool you need is a screwdriver.
Information at Hand
The Power Watchdog app lets you connect to your surge protector via Bluetooth. You can monitor your energy usage, making it easy to diagnose any ongoing energy issues you may be experiencing. When voltage increases or decreases to risky levels, you will be notified right away. You can also reset your surge protector without stepping outside.

As an update to my first review, I spoke with tech support who told me the inrush amperage value I see is not an average for the time period, its the peak for the time period. If I knew how to add back one of the stars I subtracted in my first review, then I would. But I dont, so youll have to read this to know that my _updated_ review is Solid Four Stars

So far it is working well. Here in central Pa, we get frequent thunderstorms and knowing that a power surge isnt going to fry our campers electrical system is a bit of peace of mind. Also, even though I try to shield it from the weather as much as possible, it still occasionally gets drenched and still keeps right on going!

Wow, that is crazy! I am so glad you had the Watchdog and that it did its job. My uncle has an RV and now I feel like I need to make sure hes got one of these, too. Thanks, Jim!

Its been well over a year that we have been using the Watchdog and there have been at least three times that we have connected to fault outlets. We have also survived two power surges in the past year. I highly recommend using a Watchdog or any reputable surge protector to protect your RV.

I use this every trip. We have not seen any electrical issues at campgrounds, but this does give me peace of mind. Priceless.
