Recommended Hardwired Surge Protector

Updated 12/06/2022 | Published 12/04/2022

Question:

I have an Airstream and Im concerned about reverse polarity from campground plug ins. Is there an energy management system that I can install in the trailer that shows me the power output of the power pole and if its polarity is reversed? Id hate to plug in and get shocked! Thank

Yes, we do have something that will protect your Airstream Travel Trailer. Depending on whether or not you have a 30 amp or 50 amp system you will want one of the following parts.

30 Amp System - Power Watchdog Surge Protector with Bluetooth and Emergency Shut Down item # HU77FR

50 Amp System - Power Watchdog Surge Protector with Bluetooth and Emergency Shut Down item # HU27FR

These are hardwired surge protectors that prevent damage to your RV from power spikes and sustained high or low voltage. They will also cut power for an open ground, open neutral, reverse polarity, open circuit, or mis-wired connections to protect you and your trailer.

Additionally the Power Watchdog app lets you connect to your surge protector via Bluetooth. You can monitor your energy usage, making it easy to diagnose any ongoing energy issues you may be experiencing. When voltage increases or decreases to risky levels, you will be notified right away. You can also reset your surge protector without stepping outside.
