Hey David, do you mean to cut the plug off of the Watchdog Power Center Surge Protector and Voltage Booster #HU74ZR and then wire it to your RV outlet? If so, it would be just a matter of cutting and stripping wires to pull this off.
Hey, Dan! Congrats on your new camper. Sounds like you’re good to go with the B&W Tow & Stow #BWTS20037B! Based on the dry weight being 7,600 lbs, I’m going to assume your trailer’s coupler has a 2-5/16" ball. The 2-5/16" ball on…
Hey Nathan, welcome back! The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit item #e98950 is exactly what you need for your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee so long as yours isn't a SRT-8 or one of the Trackhawk models. For a compatible tow bar, I recommend the…
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…

Hey Chrystal! The Power Watchdog Surge Protector #HU47FR lacks the emergency shut down so we can rule that one out. The #HU87FR and #HU62VR both have the emergency shut down so the main difference is how they are monitored. If you're fine with…

Hey Bud. It doesn't say you can't put the Watchdog Power Center Surge Protector and Voltage Booster item #HU74ZR on its back but you are going to block some of the ventilation. The unit does warm up and it will shut off if the internal…
Hey Shawn, congrats on the new 5th wheel trailer. The Watchdog Power Center Surge Protector and Voltage Booster item #HU74ZR is all you're going to need. Adding in the Power Watchdog Surge Protector item #HU82VR would be redundant. The item…
Brian, you’ll each want the version that matches your RV’s service. The #HU84ZR is built for 30A rigs like your friend’s Cougar, while the #HU74ZR is made for 50A rigs like your Cedar Creek. They both do the same job - voltage boosting, surge…
Hey Michael! Since you were looking at the SoftStartRV Soft Start #SSR54FR are you wanting that built in as well? The Active Controls ActiveStart Plug-In Soft Start for RVs #AS94FR is a soft start and surge protector all in one. If you aren't…
Hi Chris, that’s a great question and I’m glad you’re checking before loading that bike up. With the Roadmaster adapter part #RO24FR being rated at 400 lbs tongue weight, you’d be right at its limit with your bike and carrier, and once you factor in…
