Hello Kevin, Thanks for writing in. The main difference between the Power Watchdog Surge Protectors #HU67FR and #HU42VR comes down to the monitoring capability, housing design, and surge protection rating. The #HU67FR is the newer Generation 2 model.…
Hey Paul! The PullRite SuperGlide #PUL43RR (2714) and #PUL73RR (2914) do weigh the same. The main difference is the capacity, which is going to come from the base of the 5th wheel hitch. Since your 2027 Keystone Cougar 316RLS has a GVWR of 12,900 lbs…
Welcome back Anthony! The Curt parts you were looking at are compatible with your Silverado and each other but I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider item #BWRVK3775. The B&W Companion w/ Slider item #BWRVK3775 is one of…
Hi Kelvin, you can absolutely use the Power Watchdog without WiFi or Bluetooth. Models like the 50 amp #HU62VR and the 30 amp #HU32VR will still provide their surge protection and electrical monitoring as soon as you plug them in, so you are not…
Hi Roy, Yes, the 30 Amp Portable Power Watchdog #HU32VR will protect your RV from sustained low voltage as well as power spikes and high voltage. If the incoming voltage drops to 104 volts or below, or climbs to 132 volts or higher, the watchdog face…
Hey George, yes we do have a rain cover for the Watchdog Power Center part #HU74ZR with the part #HU88FR.Did you have the previous generation Watchdog?
Hey Ed, congratulations on the new motorhome! For a surge protector I would stick with the Watchdog models from Hughes Autoformers. These are nice because the surge model can be replaced if you actually experience a surge instead of replacing the…
Hey Emily, the Blu Technology RV Pressure Regulator #GB97FR uses the standard 1/4 inch quick disconnect size that is the same as what you would see on an air compressor. Do you have a compressor you could compare to the larger size you have?
Hello Greg, thanks for reaching out. You are on the right track looking at the 21' fabric and roller kits. The Replacement Roller and Fabric Kit for 21' Solera Power and Hybrid RV Awnings #LCV000211532 you were looking at does not have a…
Hey Caleb, I would strongly recommend going with an offset hitch ball like the Gen-Y part #GY83XR which will give you an additional 5 inches of offset and will do a great job giving you additional turning clearance. Short bed trucks can do a decent…
Thanks for letting us help Rob. There's no issue with using your Hughes Watchdog Power Center Surge Protector and Voltage Booster #HU74ZR along with a built-in Hughes Watchdog EMS. Some of the protection features will be redundant, but the two…
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.
RV Surge Protectors by SurgeMinder for safe hookups
Power up confidently with SurgeMinder RV surge protectors, with models that check the pedestal first for a safe circuit. Pick 30 amp for 120V RVs and 50 amp for RVs with two 120V legs; a 50 amp protector can be used with a 30 amp hookup using an adapter. Do not use a 30 amp protector on a 50 amp RV—there is no adapter to make that safe.
Check clearance around your RV's power inlet or cord handle. Tight spaces or outlet covers can interfere and may need to be moved to allow the plug to seat fully. Make sure the connector can insert straight and fully engage before powering up.
No, 30 amp RV surge protectors are for 120V service. 50 amp models can handle 240V because they have two 120V legs. Verify your RV's service and choose the voltage rating accordingly.
No, use a 50 amp SurgeMinder for a 50 amp RV. A 30 amp protector should not be used on a 50 amp system, and there isn't an adapter made to make that safe. Check your RV's service rating and match the surge protector to it before plugging in.
Yes, you can use a 50 amp SurgeMinder with a 30 amp pedestal by using an adapter. Match the surge protector to the trailer's service, not the pedestal. Use the correct 50-to-30 amp adapter and expect the available current to be limited by the 30 amp hookup.
Yes, SurgeMinder units perform a check first to ensure it's a safe circuit, so power isn't immediate. Plug the protector into the pedestal, let it verify the circuit, then connect your RV. Wait for the safe indication before turning on loads.
