We are persuaded toward a 2016/17 single slide unit with the diner, closet, and queen bed on the port side. However, I wish to add a few things to the motorhome which I believe will greatly enhance our boondocking comfort. While most of the things I wish to add are quiet simple, three items concern me because of available space or necessary coach modification, these are: 1) 300 watts roof-mount photo-voltaic, 2) whole-house reverse osmosis for freshwater, and 3) shore AC power surge protection.

Has anyone installed shore AC power surge protection to their class-c Sprinter? If so, how did you accomplish this? Any suggestions about how to best proceed?

We have a Sure Guard Surge Protector which mounts on the post. (we have had it for several years)
Once attached to the AC outlet on the post, it goes through a complete stage of checking out the power supply...once it has finished, it sounds and at that time you can plug your power cord to the rv. These items come in various price categories, depending on how many checks they perform.
Money well spent to protect all your appliances and electronic devices against a power surge while hooked up.
