I also need to look at some kind of electrical protection. On my previous coach I had an EMS-HW50C from Progressive Industries wired inline. More than just a surge protector, it is an Electrical Management System and protects the coach from "bad" power. I don't know how many times I have experienced some form of "bad" power over the years. I plan to put one in the new Challenger.

Robert,
Your converter should be smart and the inverter is dumb because it is an Inverter only and not an inverter/charger.
I use a plug in 50 amp surge protector like the one on this amazon link. I have not yet had a condition where the true features of an EMS (such as load management) would be necessary. If I were going to campgrounds that had 30 amp only then I would look into an EMS.
