Blue Light On Camco RV Power Defender CAM55312 No Longer Illuminating
Question:
I parked the motor coach for a few weeks. When I plugged the RV into my 30 amp home outlet which has worked as recently as the first week of October., the blue surge protector no longer is illuminated. Can you explain the possibilities? THANKS!!!!

I spoke with my contact at Camco regarding your RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer # CAM55312. He said that if the blue surge protector light is no longer illuminating on your unit then it has experienced a surge episode (and protected your RV!). This may have happened with your 30 amp home outlet or it could have happened the previous time you used the analyzer at a campsite. Since this particular model provides one-time-event protection, it is no longer able to provide surge protection when plugged in. It may be a good idea to inspect your home outlet for any damage before plugging in again.
In order to continue to get protection you will need to replace the unit. For this I recommend looking at the Camco # CAM55301. This is essentially the same product that you have now but with resetting ability that will allow it to re-connect automatically when the surge is back down to a normal level. This just means that it will continue to offer surge protection after experiencing an episode(s).
