Got a new genny with the TC but I do have a Honda too. Should a surge protector be used with a genny?
My honda 2000 causes the surge protector to trip under very heavy loads (M/W oven, A/C - sensing too low a voltage...). I installed a seperate 30a cord after the surgeguard to allow for off-grid genny operations.
My first TT I had a portable generator, was a newbie and had no surge protectors, and someone ran over and pulled the cord and it blew up my television inside the TT.

Surge protection can be had relatively inexpensively. I have the fancier Camping World model for two other equally important reasons. First is low voltage protection, especially to protect my air conditioner if power drops or I inattentively draw too much myself. Also, my unit will delay restarting power for a few minutes, which is very important for the air conditioner which can be damaged by a quick power off then on again. Some models will also read out various problems with your power source.
