While setting up camp and plugging into a power pedestal, I'm always a bit wary about the electrical hookup. This surge protector has been a relief, cutting off power automatically if things go haywire with voltage or amperage.
The Bluetooth monitoring is a great feature, letting me keep an eye on the power situation from my phone, although I do notice the connection can be spotty when I'm inside my metal-sided RV. The unit itself is a bit cumbersome, and finding a spot for it requires some creativity.
Still, the protection it provides is worth some extra effort.
