GBPurchased a Hughes Autoformer 4800… Purchased a Hughes Autoformer 4800 Joules 50A. Was leaving on a trip to MO and item was being shipped to my home in FL. I called Brett to have the unit redirected to MO for me (if possible) and he reached out to have UPS change routing to me. NO problem and NO charge to me! Thank you, Brett! I arrived in MO and had my new Autoformer to protect my RV! Easy to connect and with the digital readout plugged into my RV, I am able to actively monitor the current being supplied to our RV!

GBIntermittent False Errors and Poor Product QA/QC It worked well for the first day then it started giving error codes E7 or E1. I thought I had an electrical problem at first, but then realized that a slight movement of the surge protector fixed it. I’ve done it several times so I’m certain there is a defect inside the surge protector. It also doesn’t wait the 90 seconds like it is supposed to. Just lightly tap or move the protector and the error immediately goes away.

GBNot knowing exactly how this thing… Not knowing exactly how this thing works, I still have a level of comfort knowing that its doing its job. The issues I've had are with the ground connection and the neutral connection. At my house, I have a 50 amp hookup. These regularly illuminate red when I first hookup. Hours later I'll check, and theyll be green. Dont know what to think about that. I like the weight of the device but I'd like it to be a little more weather proof as mine is starting to show sun fade and maybe even a little rusty in places.

GBDon't Leave Home without It! One of the first things we purchased before taking possession of our first Travel Trailer was buying the 30A Autoformer. This decision was based on reviewing online recommendations about possible electrical problems you can encounter while traveling and staying at different RV campgrounds. We have been very fortunate during our many stays over the last 3 years to have only encountered one campground that had a bad electrical problem that the Autoformer detected. We were able to bring the problem to the office and they immediately repaired the problem. We feel this device can and will assist us any time we pull into a new location or even during long stays. My recommendation Don't Leave Home without it.
