Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, it's very common that most campsites only offer 30 amp service and you would not have an issue still using your SurgeMinder Surge Protector and Circuit Tester - 50 Amps # SU99SR to protect the trailer along with an adapter to connect to the 30 amp power pedestal. When it comes to surge protectors for trailer's you'll always want to match the trailer and not the pedestal, so you wouldn't want to switch to a lower rated surge protector.
