Question:
Can the HU72VR hardwire surge protector be used with a small 15A outlet at home for storage?
asked by: Keith
Expert Reply:
Yes Keith, the Watchdog Surge Protector # HU72VR will still protect your RV even if you’re plugged into a 15A residential circuit with an adapter like Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter - 30 Amp Twist Lock Female to 15 Amp Male # A10-1530DBK. It doesn’t care about the amp rating - it just watches the voltage and wiring for safety. The only difference is you’ll be limited on what you can run in the RV running off only 15A as opposed to 30A. Perfect for keeping batteries charged and the fridge cold, but you wouldn’t want to fire up the A/C.
Do you usually keep the RV plugged in during storage?
