Hello Joellen; you can plug the Power Watchdog Surge Protector # HU47FR directly into your RV. Basically, as long as it is plugged in-line between your RV and the shore power it will work as intended. Another option is to get the # HU27FR and hard wire it into your RV so you don't have to plug anything in.
