🔌 Hughes Autoformers PWD30-EPO: Spike Power Watchdog with 30 Amp Shut Off - Enhanced Protection for Your RV Review

Finally an RV surge protector that actually works as advertised. It worked as expected, at least for the start of the 28-night trip. However, I must add that the device has been used in high quality motorhomes with no visual inconsistencies related to utilities. It rained for ten nights and I used to cover the device with a plastic bag to protect it from moisture. After all, the previous and similar device I used, made by Camco, was not waterproof and lasted a total of ten days. A few nights…

Features are good. I hope the hardware lives up to Hughes' reputation. interface does not. Simple LEDs on the front would be very handy. Instead, there is an obscure 2-digit error code that you can find in the manual. They didn't even put a sticker with error codes on the device. Android support is absolute. An application that needs the location of the device, otherwise it will not work. Why do you need my location? The user interface is not intuitive. Scanning the QR code is easy enough, but…

I am a first-time motorhome owner. The cost of a surge protector is much less than an in-house electrical repair of equipment in an RV. I bought this device for two reasons. First, it not only detects problems, but actively protects against many problems that go well beyond a simple power surge; this does not apply to some other alternative brands. Second, a replaceable surge protection module. This is a quality design and customer focus. The app is amazing. I found it really useful to be able…

We recently bought this unit and haven't picked it up yet. At the moment it is attached to our RV in the backyard. As others have pointed out, it's larger than expected. It is well made and appears to be durable. The app was easy enough to set up on our S20 smartphones. The display is easy to read and straight ahead. We are confident that it will do the job it was designed to do. When we do our first Snowbird ride this winter we will update the review. There are many great products that should…

I like this (not so) small block. It works well and is easy to use. He's more than I expected. A good device to protect the electronics in your RV. Review #2 I'll reconsider this once I've used it on a 30 day 3000 mile trip. On the second day my water heater stopped working on gas (electricity only). On the 3rd day, my fridge fails completely. I used the conditioner for the first time on day 5. Doesn't cool properly. This was a brand new 2019 caravan that was released for the first time. At the

The device itself works very well. I have three small points that make it impossible for me to give it 5 stars, but depending on where it is installed, this cannot affect you in any way. First; Due to where our power enters the RV, the best place to install it was in the cavity under some drawers next to the circuit breaker panel. This area is in our bedroom, and since the front has diagnostic LEDs and a lighted dog face that changes color to indicate problems, I set it up to be visible from…

Like:1. This 30Amp Wire Fault Detector/Power Analyzer/Electronic Protection RV is incredibly easy to use. Read the instructions, take it out of the box. Turn off the power at the shore station. Plug your device into the watchdog, plug the watchdog into the coast station's power outlet and turn on the coast station. If the wiring and power are OK, the watchdog will turn white and the internal switch will close and start powering your device. If the power supply or wiring is faulty, the watchdog…
