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…
Hughes Autoformers RV Surge Protectors for hardwired installs
Mounted out of the weather, Hughes Autoformers hardwired RV surge protectors give you a clean, permanent setup. Gen II options offer Bluetooth and WiFi app monitoring with emergency shut-off, so you can track power and let the unit handle unsafe conditions. If your RV is 50 amp, you can still use a 30 amp source with an adapter and it will work correctly.
Yes, it can when used with a 30A-to-50A converter plug at the pedestal. The unit will work correctly on 30A power. Make sure your adapter is wired properly and fully seated, and confirm the app or indicator shows proper input before loading your circuits.
They monitor power and can cut power if voltage goes out of range to help protect appliances. Users have seen low voltage on one leg identified, which pointed to a bad breaker at the pedestal. App monitoring helps verify live power draw and faults, adding confidence while plugged in, even with larger solar setups.
Installation is generally straightforward. Plan your mounting so the existing coach cord diameter fits; some installs needed the opening modified. For the output to the transfer switch, using a 50amp range cord worked well in one setup. If instructions aren't included, confirm the manual ahead of time to avoid delays.
Gen 2 units include Bluetooth and WiFi plus an emergency shutdown feature. The app lets you monitor power from your phone and check details if there's a fault. A short start delay helps confirm steady power before restoring it, and a status light makes it easy to see clean power or fault codes.
