Now if you have a good unit, such as the Progressive, in your coach and are putting the Autoformer before it and all you want to do is protect the Autoformer from a surge, then having this second inexpensive surge protector would accomplish that. However, the need for that is quite remote.

I'm about to buy the Progressive 50C for my Newmar. Prior to this post, I had never heard of an ''auto former'' . Guess I'm out of the loop.
For the past 8 years, I've camped at the same campground. I'd had a Surge Guard from CW hard wired and that was the extent of my interest in protecting my MH.
I've researched Hughes Autoform and it seems fine. The lifetime warranty on the Progressive 50C I'm getting makes the Hughes 2 year warranty seem lacking.
Is the Hughes the best I can do? Anyone have something better?
