Yes that is all in there and accounts for most of the cost.
But, whoever runs the .ca site believes that we are still colonials and the hewers of wood and haulers of water.
I don't live in a quinzhee, don't go to the trading post with a dog team and I have indoor plumbing. I get tired of being handed the $hitty end of the stick.

X2........... Would buy surge guard again! Have to, do not think Progressive makes a unit to meet my needs Yes there are post posts about warranties, do not think it is as straight forward as some may think. Fine print seems to come into play

After 3 or 4 days of trolling around the web and calling local dealers, here is the cheapest hardwired one I could find. It is from Amazon.ca and is supplied out of Nova Scotia. $309.99 CAD.

Notwithstanding, actually at a conversion of $1C to $1US of 0.81, the cost for the 30 amp version in US$ at the above referenced site is $251.10. RVUpgrades.com has that beat at $246.40 US$. https://www.rvupgradestore.com/RV-En...p/emshw30c.htm

That is what I need 30 AMP.
I avoid buying anything from a supplier in the US that uses UPS or Fedex. Their customs charges are sky high.

I installed the 30 amp unit last fall. Install was about 45 minutes. My TT has a junction box in a cabinet where the power cord comes in. I simply removed it and inserted the surge unit in it's place. Mine mounted to the floor which is carpeted so I've noticed no hum. It did however trip when I first plugged the TT in to shore power. Error codes showed reverse polarity. Opened it back up and everything was connected correctly. Powered back up and it again tripped out. Checked the homemade extension cord I was using and surprise, the plug end was incorrectly wired. Correcting that fixed the issue and this unit has already saved me once for an under voltage situation. Great investment.

TRC surge guard portable smoked my t.v. convection microwave. Our friends did the exact samething. Surge guard sent us the new model free of charge and paid our insurance deductable. i use it to plug into power power box let it do it's power check then i unplug it and plug in camper. just my experience.

All this surge protector talk made me go to CW and take a look around. They had a clearance on 50 amp Surge Guard for 144.00 so I grabbed it and put it in. I plugged my trailer back in the house. My 50 amp cord is adapted down to the household plug and everything worked fine. I was a little nervous but it worked.
*Not sure why the pics are rotated.

Just courious, but wouldn't you want one that will detect, open neutrals and low voltage, similar to the EMS-PT50C and not just one that prevents a power surge, more overall protection?? I know that model isn't hard wired but I'm sure they or other brands have them for hard wire situation.

Thanks Matt.
So it is $269.00 + 44.99 = $313.99 USD which = $393.20 CAD
Still a fair amount of money.
The cheapest I found was from Amazon.ca, $306.53 CAD with free shipping, sourced out of Nova Scotia.
https://www.amazon.ca/Progressive-In...ords=EMS-HW30C
I won't be installing it until April so I will just keep watching for a bit and see if anything else comes up.
Did I mention, I am cheap !
