Just read on another board (fb RV quilters) about an electric box at a camp ground that had a surge and like burned out. Luckily, the people said they had an EMS surge protector? I decided to come here to the "experts" and ask about this. Should I get one of these "EMS surge protectors"? Does this electric surges happen very often? Do you think Camping world would carry these? Any help would be appreciated.
Note: I am a little nervous about any electric surges. Our Cable box was hit be lighting last August and blew out all three tv's and fried all the cable boxes. We had to replace tv's and Directv replaced the boxes. Now we know to get surge protectors with the little screw on the end for your cable lines (who knew???) And our son and wife just had their house burned down from a lighting strike last month. Luckily they got our and no one was hurt. They are now fighting it out with ins co. to get it rebuilt. So you can imagine just the thought of any electric strike/surge has me in a panic.
Thanks
