Product Size
Dimensions: 2.41″ W x 14.40″ L x 1.85″ D.
Is the Southwire Surge Guard 44260 30 Amp Portable RV Surge Protector Right for Your RV?
The Southwire Surge Guard 44260 is intended for RVs that use a 120-volt, 30-amp electrical connection. It is a practical choice for pop-up campers, travel trailers, and other 30-amp RVs when you want portable surge protection plus a simple way to check campground pedestal wiring before relying on shore power.
This model is not intended for an RV with a 50-amp power connection. Owners of 50-amp RVs should compare it with the Southwire Surge Guard 44270, which is designed for 120/240-volt, 50-amp service and provides 4,200 joules of surge protection.
What the Surge Guard 44260 Checks
Before power reaches your RV, the 44260 analyzes the campground pedestal connection and uses illuminated indicators to show the power status. It tests for open ground, open neutral, and correct polarity conditions. These diagnostics help identify common pedestal wiring problems that may otherwise go unnoticed when connecting at a campground.
The unit also provides 2,100 joules of surge protection. Its portable design allows it to connect between the campground pedestal and your RV power cord without permanent installation.
Southwire Surge Guard 44260 30 Amp Portable RV Surge Protector Setup
The 44260 includes Easy-T-Pull handles to make connecting and disconnecting the unit easier. It is also compatible with the Southwire Surge Guard Lock Hasp model 34590 for RV owners who want an optional way to help secure the protector while it is connected outside the RV.
Because it is portable, the unit can travel with the RV and be used whenever you connect to compatible 30-amp campground power.
Choosing Between the 44260 and 44270
Choose the 44260 when your RV uses a 30-amp connection and you need 2,100-joule surge protection with basic pedestal diagnostics.
Choose the 44270 when your RV uses a 50-amp connection. The 44270 provides the same listed diagnostic functions for open ground, open neutral, and correct polarity, but is rated for 120/240-volt, 50-amp service and offers 4,200 joules of surge protection.
