Do I need a GEARGO RV Surge Protectors 50 Amp for travel?

Direct answer

A surge protector sits between the campground power post and your RV and is meant to guard the RV's wiring and appliances from power problems at the site. If you never plug into shore power (for example you run only on batteries or a generator), you may not need one.

Who it may help

RV and trailer owners who plug into campground power.
