Surge/voltage protectors

That voltage range sounds just about right.  I always recommend 110 to 125 for any AC appliance, partly because the numbers are a little easier to remember.  If you don't have one already, buy a Kill-a-Watt.  First you can use it around the house to find out how much energy you are using (I found an older freezer was using too much so I replaced it).  Then instead of throwing it in a drawer, keep it in the 'pod.  I keep mine plugged into an outlet that is visible as I enter from outside so I can keep an eye on the utility voltage during the day in camp.  Usually you won't have a problem in the spring and fall, but during the summer when every other camper has their A/C on high in the mid-afternoon the voltage can drop.  If it goes below 110, turn off your own A/C, don't use the microwave, and turn off the electric heat element on the water heater.  When you first get into camp its also a good idea to check the voltage when you first hook up (no matter what season or time of day) to be sure you have a good outlet.  Some times you'll find a bad one.

Do you have a link to the model you are looking at?

That looks like the one I had for my motor home.  I would have to go look at it to be sure.  They are well worth the money.

I like the idea of permanently installing a surge protector in my r-pod.  But, I see that the ones from Progressive Industries allow voltages from 104-132... well outside the 108-122 volt range recommended by Dometic.

Without actually opening anything up to check, it should be a matter of opening up the back of the converter, unscrewing the terminals where the plug is attached, rerouting/reattaching the wires from the plug to the input on the surge protector, then adding 10 gauge wiring between the output of the surge protector to the terminals on the converter where the plug was.
