Surge Protector Question

SwampTrash Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: SW Louisiana Posts: 38	Need some help. The rv is 50A and I have a 50A surge protector. I will be staying at a friends house that has 30A service. Should I still use my 50A surge protector or her 30A surge protector. Also, if using a 30A extension cord, at what point does the surge protector go. __________________ Vickie & Ronnie 2009 Keystone Raptor 3110 Toy Hauler 2008 F-450 Super Duty Dually

Connect to the house service with a 50 to 30 amp adapter (aka: "dog bone") between your protector and the house power. __________________ Travel well, travel safe, Jim & BJ 2006 Tiffin Phaeton-2009 GMC Sierra CC 4X4
