Surge Protectors for 30 Amp and 50 Amp Power Sources for RV
Question:
We are buying a travel trailer with 50 amp service. Only 1/3 to 2/5 of state parks have 50 amp service. When we are at a 30 amp state park, and we use a dogbone power converter, is there a surge protector that I can buy to cover both applications, or do I have to buy a 30 and a separate 50 amp surge protector for each power source? Thank you!

I wish there was a circuit protector that could cover both amperage ratings but you'd have to have a 30 amp protector like the part # CAM55301 or the # CAM55306 for a 50 amp setup.
For a 30 amp female to 50 amp male adapter you'd want # A10-5030FHVP.
