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.

Your internet site is very well organized and easy to use...My order was shipped very promptly and included everything I ordered...All in all this was a simple procedure for what can be a complicated order. I would use your company again or recommend you to others. Your selection was broad and your prices fair.
Keep your rig's electronics protected when pedestal power gets sketchy. Options include units with emergency shutoff for low voltage, open ground, open neutral, reverse polarity, or open circuit, plus Bluetooth or WiFi so you can monitor from your phone. If voltage at the park dips, models with built-in boosting can maintain power, and you can choose portable or install-in-coach styles.
Yes. It can be hardwired by cutting the plug and wiring it to your RV outlet—just a matter of cutting and stripping wires. Plan your mounting spot in advance and route cables so you can access them later. Ensure there's room for airflow around the unit.
Some do. EPO can shut power off for low voltage, open ground, open neutral, reverse polarity, or open circuit. Confirm the feature on the model you choose. If you camp in places with sketchy power, EPO adds helpful protection beyond basic surge defense.
Match the protector to your RV's service. A 50A protector lets you see consumption on both legs and reduces the need to constantly manage loads. Using a 30A unit on a 50A RV with an adapter can work, but you'll need to monitor usage so you don't go over.
A unit with a voltage booster can maintain increased voltage when park power sags, even down to readings like 104 V on both legs. Use Bluetooth or WiFi monitoring to watch voltage and consumption from your phone. Consider a secure, permanent mount if you move often.
It depends on generator capacity and what you're running. Smaller generators can trip when an air conditioner starts. Try reducing other loads or using a higher-capacity generator. Some setups handle a 3300 watt generator well; test your combo and watch for nuisance trips.
