"Flickering" is a light description and as Down South said; your lights run off your 12 VDC system which means that even if the SP went away, the lights would continue to be lit IF you don't have your battery disconnect open (USE/STORE. Salesman switch). So if your lights are flickering as a result of SP fluctuations I would check that battery disconnect.
A surge protector does nothing to prevent SP fluctuations from reaching your electrical system. All it does is sacrifice itself in the event an overly large voltage spike comes into your RV - it will take the spike to prevent damage to your downstream electrical equipment.
So if your SP is fluctuating, and it isn't caused by the power company itself, then you may have a loose connection somewhere between the SP plug-in and your breaker panel in the RV. Possible sources are:
The connections to the breaker in the SP pole
The SP Receptacle
Your SP plug
Your SP cord
The connections to the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) in your RV
The ATS itself
The connections to the breaker panel in your RV.
