I'll concede that I'm not an expert on this, but after talking to a number of dealers who carry these products, I went with the Hughes Autoformer RV220-50-SP and was told that the Progressive Industries surge protector was not needed because it is already built into the Hughes unit. The surge protector unit in the Hughes is replaceable. I went with the model that is not hard-wired because I got tired of buying things that end up staying with the rig when I sell it. If you go that route, please note that it's a relatively heavy thing to lug around and hook up.
I paid over $525 for my Hughes unit. Was it worth it? I don't know, but it bought me peace of mind about not having to worry about frying the electrical components in the coach.
