Mike, I have a question in regards to daisy-chain surge protection. Both Southwire and Progressive Industries cannot answer this question with a reasonable technical explanation. Can you have two surge protection devices daisy-chained one after the other. Such as using a Progressive Industries portable SSP-50XL with 1650 Joules of surge protection plugged into the pedestal followed with a Southwire Surge Guard Transfer Switch model 40350-RVC which has 3350 Joules of surge protection?
Mike, great article/video. I have a Watchdog (50 amp ver) for my motor home. I love it's features including the white/red face on the device. I do have a question however. At some campgrounds I found the WD would through an error code E6 when the coach was attached but not when it was plugged in alone. Hughes replaced the unit but the same thing happened at the same CG. I began diagnosing the issue and found that when I turned off the power feed to the inverter/converter, at the CB panel, the issue went away. Unfortunately I need the I/C on as all the 120v outlets are pass through. Before I pay the freight to send the I/C back to Aims ( PICOGLF3K12050BY) is there anything else I should check. Again this does not happen at every CG just some.
I learned an expensive lesson when a pedestal low power event fried my fridge electrical panel…to the tune of $850! I now own a $250 EMS, which has saved our bacon on several occasions.
