Campground issues are not VERY, VERY, VERY, rare. They are in fact common. Last summer I encountered 3 different parks, one county government, one military base, and one commercial RV park with bad wiring, ground faults to be exact. Perhaps you are comfortable blindly connecting to an electrical outlet, but I am not. Additionally I have been in parks, Canadian, that voltages spiked to over 135VAC. My installed EMS saved the wiring. I've been in 2 parks in AK that due to loads, voltages dropped below 107VAC and again the EMS disconnected before damages were done to electrical equipment. An EMS vs surge protector, is cheap insurance when compared to repairs to an RV electrical system caused by rather common problems at campgrounds.
