Hey Greg,

For you I'd go with the WatchDog # HU97FR. You'll plug this into the pedestal at the campsite first, and make sure all the three lights are green which means the outlet you're plugging into is wired correctly and safe to hook up. You'll plug your Furion power cord into the open end of the surge protector, and you're good to get on with camping!
