    Watchdog Surge Protector review

    We replaced the old surge protector this summer with the Hughes Watchdog 30 amp. The old plugs had damage from heat/poor connections.

    Initially, the idea of a "smart" or connected surge devise was not appealing. I downloaded their app anyway. The app provides real time wattage and voltage.

    When the campground power dropped to 109 volts, the surge protector cut the power (good) and poof! I have a notification on my phone and was able to reset from inside the camper. Very nice with all the August rain in Michigan.

    Pros:
    Replaceable "spike module" free for the first 2 years and then $20-$35!
    Easy reset
    Lock link on cord
    Price - under $200

    Cons:
    Bulky
    Logo light on the unit is very visible

    BLUF: It works, the guts are replaceable, and can be reset from the comfort of your RV.

    I have the 50Amp version. I also had it shut off the power to the rig when the voltage dropped. So far I like it.
    The neighbors little dog kept barking at it though. Not sure if it was the light or the shape.
    I have been asked a lot of questions about it by passers-by out walking right before sunset.
    I guess it gets a lot of attention. That could be good and bad.
    I do have a cable lock for it to help keep people honest.
    I like the blue-tooth connection as well.
