While a basic surge protector will keep your RV electronics safe from power spikes, the Power Watchdog will alert you if there are any other problems. Use the smartphone app to monitor your system and get notified if low or high voltage is detected.

Protect your investment
If you aren't using a surge protector, you're taking a big risk. While spikes caused by lightning can damage your electrical system and appliances, there are common electrical issues that can be just as dangerous. Choosing a surge protector with advanced features will help you protect your RV.
Beyond Basic Surge Protection
The most affordable RV surge protectors will provide basic protection from voltage spikes caused by lightning or other transmission issues. They can typically withstand a few minor spikes, or only one major spike, before they need to be completely replaced.
Power Watchdog surge protectors go beyond the basics. Plug it in before connecting your RV to get a clear indication of any wiring issues at your park pedestal. In the event of a major spike, you can replace the surge protection module itself rather than the entire unit. The modules are plugged in without soldering, so you don't need to be an expert electrician to make an easy repair. In fact, the only tool you need is a screwdriver.
Information at Hand
The Power Watchdog app lets you connect to your surge protector via Bluetooth. You can monitor your energy usage, making it easy to diagnose any ongoing energy issues you may be experiencing. When voltage increases or decreases to risky levels, you will be notified right away. You can also reset your surge protector without stepping outside.

I use this surge protector on our 5th wheel. The BT capability allows me to monitor power usage remotely and ensure my trailer is protected.
We have been using the Watchdog for the better half of the season since we had to replace our power cable. It had a burnt end due to a poor hookup at a campsite. Nowwe can test our hookup before we connect our trailer. There is also an app that helps monitor the connection. The best thing about the Watchdog is that the replaceable surge protector.

Its been well over a year that we have been using the Watchdog and there have been at least three times that we have connected to fault outlets. We have also survived two power surges in the past year. I highly recommend using a Watchdog or any reputable surge protector to protect your RV.
It's an exceptional product and the bluetooth is super nice to have!

It is awesome!!!!
great product. I really like being able to have the app on my phone and see the power usage on it too. being able to replace the part that blows when there is a surge is very handy instead of buying a new unit. id also like to say how awesome and helpful etrailer is also. I needed assistance awhile back and they seemed more than eager to help me.
thank you etrailer for being great and competitive on prices too.

still working great. no complaints
The Watchdog is a very good product. Only type we will buy.
We have had this for just this year and working as expected. We have not yet had a site with a bad connection, but it confirms a good electric source and the surge protection in the event of a storm or site fault.

Have been using it for a year now, works great. Love the Bluetooth to monitor power usage.
This device provides valuable information for awareness of power usage in our 30 Amp RV. This allows more efficient operation of the electrical supply so that we can manage 120 volt AC equipment to avoid tripping breakers.
We feel real secure in this product. Has always worked just as it is supposed to. Glad we purchased a product we can repair if blown instead of having to purchase a new surge protector after an event.
The surge protector works great!
The power watchdog is an excellent product!! I am very pleased with my purchase from etrailer. The app makes it simple to check your usage. Definitely recommended.
We camp at state parks and thier maintence is not always the best. We plug into posts which are very scarey. The surge protector gives us peace of mind that our motorhome's electrical system is safe.
Im rating this based on the 50amp which I previously used. Hey E-Trailer, stop sending review requests 2 seconds after an item is delivered. Give someone a chance to use it first!!!
I really wanted to like these mirrors, but I have to give them 2 stars as they vibrated so much they were literally unusable and I couldn't really see out of them. I made sure the thumb screws were completely tight as well and they still shook. When returning home from my trip I discovered that they left adhesive on both of my mirrors from the foam pads that I had to remove (see pic). I think I would have been better off to order a set of mirrors that snapped onto my existing mirrors and had a tighter fit which would cause less vibration.
I like the option of Bluetooth to see the details of my voltage and amp usage. Also setting of parameters to alert you on issues

Great. No problems
This surge protector has been great, no issues at all. Very pleased with it
I have been happy with my surge protector. I like the bright green light that shows up at night letting me know my power is safe.
Very easy to use.
This is a perfect system that allows me to gage amperage use and keep from over taxing my fuse box.
Used it twice, and it worked as adverti sed.

We use the surge protector on every trip, and it provides peace of mind. I usually check out our peak usage once per day.
