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…
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…
Hi Davis, Yes, you potentially could do that, but there are a couple important things to keep in mind. The Watchdog Power Center part #HU74ZR is designed as a portable unit that normally sits upright at the pedestal, and Hughes recommends keeping it…
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 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 Phil! For a tandem axle trailer you will want two of the Leveling Kit with Wheel Chocks for Trailers and RVs #WS28ER. You are correct, one under each tire is best. I use these on my Jayco with one under each tire to keep them off the ground and…
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…
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…
Set up dependable protection on a 50 amp RV with a hardwired surge protector. You can use a 30 amp pedestal with an adapter and it will still work, so your setup stays usable at more parks. Prefer extras? Options with Bluetooth and WiFi let you monitor power from your phone and spot low voltage issues before they cause trouble.
Yes, a replacement surge protection module is available for Gen 2 50 Amp units. Confirm your unit's generation before ordering and match the module to the same generation. Keep the model details handy so you can select the correct replacement element when needed.
Yes, a 50 Amp hardwired unit can be used with a 30A source when you use a proper adapter. It will still function and protect your RV on 30A power. Confirm your adapter is wired correctly and rated for RV use. Expect reduced available power compared to 50A service.
Installation is generally straightforward. Plan your cable routing and mounting, and verify space for the coach cord—some installs require enlarging an opening to fit the existing cord diameter. For the output to the transfer switch, a properly rated 50A range-style cord can be used. If instructions aren't in the box, locate them before starting.
Bluetooth and WiFi monitoring can make a big difference. You can view leg voltages and other details in an app, which helps confirm campground issues like low voltage on one leg. An emergency shutdown feature adds peace of mind by cutting power during unsafe conditions. Check that the app features match what you want before you buy.
