What's your thoughts on this one

This unit is only a circuit analyzer and a one time surge protector. I would recommend a unit that also offers high and low voltage protection, and frequency protection, along with current amperage readings.

If you arrive at a campground before it fills up before a weekend everything may check out with an analyzer, and then when high load situations develop and voltage drops stuff can get ruined.

Be careful. Some of those camco units are one hit and done. You can’t reset the surge protector. You have to purchase a new one if it gets zapped.

I see, thanks everyone, so any of the progressive surge protecters are not one time use ...?

The Progressive Protectors that have EMS in the name monitor high and low voltage, polarity, ground, frequency, and record current amp usage along with serving as a surge protector. They also have a replaceable surge protection unit in them should that get burnt out.

If I were going to choose between only surge protection, or everything else the progressive EMS system does I would choose the protection for the everything else. So far my system has saved from High voltage once, Low voltage once, and a faulty ground once.
