THE FRONT BOOT
CONNECTED AND PROTECTED
How ‘surge safe’ is your RV? According to
Ampfibian, without protection an electrical surge
can fry your electrics, and most insurance policies
exclude surge damage.
If you think ‘yeah, but surely surges aren’t that
common’, then zap out of it. Not only can a whole
range of things trigger a surge, they’re more likely
in the rural locations you
love exploring.
The good news? Surge damage is 100 per cent
preventable thanks to an inexpensive piece of
(weatherproof) kit called the Ampfibian S1000DX
Caravan Surge Protector. Rated at 15A and with
a 1000 joule surge absorption rating and four
integrated fuses, plug it into a site’s power supply
before connecting your van and you’ll protect
your electrics. Plus, it features an integrated
outlet tester, so you can check if a powerpoint is
wired properly before you plug in, too.
