Also, Surge Guard makes an excellent EMS system that includes a remote monitor that is bluetooth connected and can be mounted (or left loose) anywhere in your rig.

I'm not ware of any "surge protector" with a remote screen. Unfortunately most people unfamiliar with the devices will use "surge protector" as a general term to describe an "EMS" because a surge protector is what they have their computer at home plugged into.

I suspect you are absolutely correct. I'm not familiar with "surge protectors" so didn't know about the remote screen capabilities. Thanks for the clarification .

You can always use a flashlight and a hand held mirror to see it.

Since you have hard wired EMS unit ... and it would be a pain to drag out heavy shore power cable only to find out you have pedestal power problems Id use a multimeter and measure the service at the pedestal
Takes just a moment to verify. Then after you are set up let the EMS do its job and you’ll have very few worries.

I'm "cheap" and Progressive has an "old style EMS" and a "new style EMS" and a "new, more expensive style (Bluetooth) EMS"....
Rather than spend $300 for a Bluetooth model (I refuse to carry a cell phone anyway) or $275 for a "remote display model", I elected to buy the $99 "old style" with the display located on the unit and no remote display ability.
I simply cut a "switch cover size hole" in the panel behind which my EMS is installed, put a "matching wood switch cover" with a piece of 1/8" clear lexan to close the hole. I can glance at the opening, see the entire display and know exactly what the status is. Saved more than double the price of the "remote display EMS"...

We installed the Progressive EMS-HW30C which includes the hard-wired remote display/bypass console. Rather than surface mount it on the wall, I wanted to flush mount it.
I had a friend use a 3D printer to create a mounting bezel for it and it turned out great. Here are some pictures of the bezel, the display attached to the bezel and finally the whole thing mounted in the wall.
PM me if you want any details on this.
