Question:

Can you still watch the surge protector when you are at home? instead of the camp ground?

I believe you are asking about using the app to monitor the Portable Power Watchdog Surge Protector with Bluetooth and Emergency Shut Down - 30 Amp # HU67FR.

I'm not sure where your RV would be when you are at home, but the Bluetooth range is a maximum of 100 feet. That's with a clear line from your phone to the protector without anything in the way, so realistically it is more likely to be in the range of about 50 feet (give or take), which should tell you if the # HU67FR app will still be usable for you when you are at home.
