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.
Keep your rig's power clean and steady with an RV surge protector. Choose portable or hardwired styles, in 30 amp or 50 amp, and add options like Bluetooth/WiFi monitoring, emergency shutoff (EPO) for low voltage or wiring faults, or built-in voltage boosting for sagging campground power. Handy for tracking usage on both legs and avoiding surprises when loads kick on.
Yes—hardwiring can be done by cutting and stripping wires to tie into your RV's outlet wiring. If space is tight or you mount it flat, make sure you're not blocking ventilation since the unit does warm up. Add a nearby plug or access point so you can move between campgrounds without opening the panel each time.
Yes—models with an emergency shut off can cut power for low voltage, open ground, open neutral, reverse polarity, or open circuit. Check the specs for EPO listed with these exact protections. If you've had power issues before, confirm the unit covers the conditions you've seen at pedestals.
Match the surge protector to your RV's service. A 30A unit can be used with a 50A rig using a dog bone adapter, but you'll need to monitor usage so you don't go over. If you want to see consumption on both legs of the circuit, choose a 50A version that shows your consumption on both legs.
Pick a voltage-boosting surge protector if campground power drops, like seeing 104 V on both legs. These units maintain the power they generate so you constantly have the boost in voltage, and can include a power off feature when volts drop below usable levels. Use the app or display to watch incoming voltage as loads change.
