What We Do
We install both portable (plug-in) and hardwired surge protectors from the three most trusted brands: Progressive Industries, Southwire, and Hughes Autoformers. Portable units plug into the campground pedestal and provide basic surge and voltage protection. Hardwired units mount inside your RV's electrical compartment and provide continuous monitoring plus protection against surges, low/high voltage, open ground, open neutral, and reverse polarity.
Signs You Need RV Surge Protection Installation
You camp at multiple campgrounds and can't trust every pedestal. You've experienced a power surge or voltage drop at a campground. Your converter or appliance was damaged by bad power. You want set-it-and-forget-it protection without remembering to plug in a portable unit.

RV Surge Protection Installation FAQ
How much does a surge protector cost installed?
Portable units (Progressive Industries EMS-PT30X/PT50X) run $200 to $350. Hardwired units (Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C/HW50C) cost $300 to $450 installed.
What's the difference between portable and hardwired?
Portable units plug into the pedestal and sit outside. They're easier to steal and exposed to weather. Hardwired units mount inside your RV, can't be stolen, and are protected from the elements. Both provide similar protection.
Do surge protectors protect against lightning?
They protect against indirect lightning surges (power spikes through the grid). A direct lightning strike to your RV or the campground pedestal can overwhelm any consumer-grade protector. But indirect surges are far more common.
Can a surge protector save my converter?
Absolutely. We've seen multiple converters ($400-$800 replacements) destroyed by campground power surges that a $250 protector would have blocked. It pays for itself the first time it trips.
How do I know if my surge protector is working?
Progressive Industries units have LED indicators that show real-time voltage and fault conditions. If you see a fault code, the protector is doing its job by keeping your RV disconnected from bad power.
Do you recommend a specific brand?
Progressive Industries is our top recommendation. Their EMS (Electrical Management System) line monitors voltage continuously and disconnects automatically if power goes out of spec. Southwire Surge Guard is also excellent.
