  • Simple, lightweight and Functional. Liked better than the Watchdog unit.
Pattern Name: 30 Amp EMS Style: Portable
I bought this for my 24 foot Sprinter-based class B+ Motorhome. It was between this one and Hughes watchdog unit. Both cut the power when there is a problem. This one is a lot lighter, and does not have an annoying “bulldog” light on at night. I think it is quicker to recover too if it trips due to a higher load such as running the AC and Microwave at the same time. The trade off is that the watchdog has a Bluetooth app so you can monitor from your phone. I usually go for iPhone connectivity, but in this case it is complexity which is not needed. The display shows the amp draw which is handy. Any problems are displayed with an error code, and I keep the quick reference in the compartment near the connection, just in case. It has a nice locking point for a cable. I use a cheap bicycle cable to keep it from walking off at the campsite. Very happy. ... show more

  • It Works Well and Provides Total Protection, but Can Be Difficult to Install
Pattern Name: 50 Amp EMS w/ Remote Display Style: Hardwired
I installed this in my RV two weeks ago and it is working well. The unit is smaller than I expected (certainly smaller than the Surge Guard hardwired surge suppressor) and this presents a few potential advantages and drawbacks. On the plus side it has a small footprint, important for my RV. The remote display also takes up very little space and, with the long data cable provided, is easily attached to a convenient place in your compartment. Mine is attached with velcro next to my compartment door opening. On the minus side it is a bit harder to get the input and output cables properly attached to lugs that are have slightly smaller openings than the Surge Guard. It is especially difficult to get the output wires through the two current coils, attached to the lugs, the lid screwed down. I found it easier to attach my cables before installing the unit. One of the features I really like is the bypass switch on the remote display. If the unit fails you can bypass it using this switch. Given the choice of an internal or external surge suppressor I chose internal to make it theft proof. I don't think the external Progressive Industries unit provides enough anti-theft security. This also as a problem with the external Surge Guard, but less so if you add their lock box. Progressive Industries offers a lifetime warranty and excellent support. Surge Guard also has good support but a limited warranty. The EMS-HW50C also provides total protection. I didn't compare this to the Surge Guard specs, so they may or may not be the same. Progressive Industries is also less expensive. I replaced the Surge Guard transfer switch on my previous RV with an upgraded model with surge protection and it worked fine. The Surge Guard transfer switch on my current RV does not include that level of protection and the manufacturer recommended adding a separate surge protector to the system. Both Surge Guards on my previous RV developed a loud and objectionable hum which Surge Guard says is normal and not covered under warranty. I don't know if that will happen with the EMS-HW50C, but the contactor is made by a different company. Should you add high end surge protection to your RV? You may never need it, but then again you might. I have stayed in two RV park sites that had miswired pedestals and several where pedestals were being repaired. ... show more

  • A well-made reliable surge protector to give you peace of mind. Cover may not fit some handles.
Pattern Name: 30 Amp EMS Style: Portable
I have read many review on a variety of surge protectors and brands for RVs, and Progressive Industries seems to come out on top each time (or at least in the top 3). It is on the bulky side (which is not an issue), but not too heavy. The instructions are clear easy to follow and provides convenient error codes on the side of the device. It is built for handling the weather and has a good weatherproof *cover. *note: the latest clear weatherproof covers should be even deeper to accommodate some newer RV handles. I have a 2021 Leisure travel Wonder power cord, which is 3" tall - too tall for even the latest covers (about 1/2" more space needed). I had to use their extra kit (for another model) to modify my housing to have room for my plug handle with the clear cover down. I used 3M double sided tape to attach to the original housing edge, and cutting out part of the bottom to the kit piece. It looks a bit bulkier now, but at least the plug handle fits. (see pics) It comes with a security collar attached to prevent theft at parks. The fact it protects against low and high voltage, reverse polarity, open neutral, open ground, AC frequency protection, and accidental 240V protection, gives one peace of mind when plugging in. My RV actually came with a built in surge EMS protector from Progressive Industries, but is not easy to access to see the display when hooking up at a site. I don't really require this external SP, but I just prefer to have the redundancy, and I can easily monitor the status if anything happens. I could also have just used a Progressive Industries tester for the pole before hooking up. Less expensive, but no redundancy. It's all preference :). Also, their customer service is amazing and will do all they can to address any questions or issues. ... show more

  • A Perfect Electrical Protection Device for RV'rs
Pattern Name: 50 Amp EMS w/ Remote Display Style: Hardwired
Fast acting, great feedback on Voltage and Current usage and quick ability to bypass protection in the event of a failure. I always worried about having a device that plugged into the shore power tower being stolen this is mounted inside the RV. If you are comfortable adding an electrical circuit into your home electrical panel this is an easy install, if you are not then hire a licensed electrical. One note before you start figure out the type of air-conditioner you have, specifically the type of restart after a power failure, there is a setting for delayed restart after a soft electrical failure. ... show more
