Protecting the RV’s appliances, electronics, and electrical systems is our top priority. The last thing we want to do is fry our equipment or start a fire! Our Progressive Industries EMS PT50x RV surge protector gives us peace of mind whenever we plug into a pedestal.
One of our first purchases for the RV (Ruby) was our portable Progressive Industries EMS PT50X.
The surge protector (Electrical Management System or EMS) will to protect the RV against voltage fluctuations, power surges, and incorrectly wired shore power, which can cause severe and costly damage to the RV’s electrical system, appliances, and any other electronic gear.
Setup Checklist
Our portable EMS-PT50X is a part of our set-up checklist. When we pull into a campground, we first determine if the power pedestal has good, clean power by plugging in our EMs.
Turn off pedistal breaker
Plug in EMS
Allow it to go through its checks
Once checks are complete and the EMS shows normal power, turn off the breaker again.
Plug in RV power
Turn the breaker back on

It Can Happen to Anyone
Bad campground power pedestals can ruin your day. Numerous examples exist of RVers plugging into bad pedestals and zapping their electrical systems. Our friend, Julie from Chickery's Travels, had her electrical system zapped due to a power surge from the pedestal. And, of course, it happened while her husband was out of town on business! To see how she repaired her RV check out Julie's blog post.
Protect your rv
Don’t plug your RV into the pedestal without protecting your investment. Its an easy and inexpensive way to keep your RV rolling down the road!
