Expert Answers about RV Surge Protectors


  • Questions on Hughes Autoformers AC Digital Voltmeter & Surge Protector
  • The Hughes Autoformers AC Digital Voltmeter, # HU28FR that you linked to is for measuring voltage at an operating range between 108 to 132 volts. This is irrelevant of the amperage supply from the pedestal. If I understand correctly that you are wanting to monitor amps being supplied to your RV, I suggest a surge protector.

  • Looking for Adapter to Convert 7-Way on Vehicle to 5-Pole Connector on Trailer
  • I'm assuming you're needing the adapter for a boat trailer that has a surge or hydraulic coupler. The 'brake' wire doesn't carry power to the trailer brakes, it merely 'locks out' the hydraulic coupler when the vehicle transmission is shifted into reverse so the trailer can be backed up without the trailer brakes coming on. If this is the case, I'd recommend the Reese # 78118 adapter, that's compatible with either 4-pole or 5-pole trailer connectors.

  • Do I Need an Adapter to Go from a 5-Pole Flat Vehicle Connector to a 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector?
  • Typically the 5-Way Flat is used for trailers with surge brakes or hydraulic brakes. The additional wire is tapped into the backup lights to disengage the hydraulic trailer coupler (actuator) when the vehicle is reversing, thus turning off the trailer's brakes. That being said, there isn't an adapter out there to convert a vehicle's 5-pole flat into a 4-pole flat because it's not needed. All you have to do is plug the 4-pole trailer connector into the 5-pole vehicle connector. Doing this...
