I have a inline 50 amp Southwire surge guard for my trailer, but ended up taking it out. Reason is we almost always dry camp, so we have to run the generator many times throughout the day, especially if we want to use the microwave. With the inline surge guard it takes up to 5 minutes to finally say the power is stable enough to allow the contactors to engage. Too much hassle. If you were always going to trailer parks with constant power then they are good, but for me I was tired of waiting 5 minutes to have it kick on every time. Also I found if I decided to use my inverter, the surge guard sucked so much power out my microwave would stop after 10 seconds. Just keep that in mind. I am now converting my inline one to a portable one, so I don't have to buy another just in case I decide to stay at a trailer park with power.
