I would certainly verify what you were told about having a "factory installed" voltage protection circuit. To my knowledge, none of Keystone's offerings have a built in surge protector. The only "protection" I'm aware of is a 30 amp (or 50 amp) main breaker... It won't do much if the pedestal is wired wrong...

If you have a 15 amp:30 amp adapter to plug your RV into a standard outlet, you can buy one of these testers.... It will check everything except voltage. You can buy a voltage meter that plugs into a standard outlet and will measure the voltage for you.

Here's the Circuit Monitor:

Here's the Line Meter:

Keep in mind neither of these devices will "protect your RV" they will only test the circuit for status. That status can change at any time.... That's the reason for a built in voltage protection device.

I strongly urge you to verify what you were told. It sure doesn't sound right.....
