Hello Jason, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Portable Power Watchdog Surge Protector with Bluetooth and WiFi # HU32VR can be used with a generator. One thing you will have to note is that some generators have a ‘floating neutral’. This might cause the Power Watchdog EPO surge protectors or any other EMS surge protector to give you an ‘open ground’ or ‘open neutral’ error code and prevent power from going into your RV. If this is the case with your generator you can resolve this by plugging the Hughes Autoformers Ground Neutral Bonded Plug for Generators Item # HU33FR into an open outlet on your generator.
