Evans RV Adventures: EMS Install (Abilene, TX)

Welcome To Our Full-Time RVing Adventures!!

Hello! We are Bobby & Shelly Evans.
In 2006, we sold our home, "stuff", purchased our 2000 American Dream motor home and began our full-time RVing adventure with our 2 Bengal cats, Jasmine (age 13) and Kimba (age 11). We are both originally from Seaford, Delaware and married December 28, 1991. Shelly is a Registered Nurse (RN) and takes travel nursing assignments as we travel. Bobby works "remotely" for a national Internet company.
Please join us as we document our daily activities and experiences as we travel our great country!

EMS Install (Abilene, TX)

As you may had read of our blog over the last 3 1/2 years, we twice had campground surges which damaged (luckily minor) our coach inverter/charger (source manager), so we thought it was time we seriously protect ourselves! We purchased a Progressive Industries EMS-HW50C surge protection unit from Lawrence RV Accessories Inc. Great price, Free shipping, No sales tax, great support and are fellow fulltime RV'ers!

Today Bobby installed the unit (mounted on back electrical bay wall) and is working good, even the new inside remote display thanks for Progressive sending up an additional data cable (Free)!

As you see we kept our Hughes Autoformer (grey box) and chained it in before the EMS, so if campground has low voltage the autoformer can try to compensate before the EMS shuts down the power.
