The Successor to the World’s Best RV Surge Protector

As the successor to the world’s first Smart RV Surge Protector, which became one of the best-selling RV accessories ever, the new Power Watchdog takes innovation and reliability to the next level. The best just got better.

Reimagined from the ground up, the second-generation Power Watchdog introduces an innovative new design that sets it apart from any other surge protector on the market. The Power Watchdog offers enhanced weather protection, improved security, and unmatched user-friendliness. This advanced design includes a lockable, lit clamshell connection bay, making it easier to make connections in the dark while ensuring robust tamper resistance. These features not only protect your RV from electrical faults but also provide a seamless and secure user experience, elevating the standard of RV power management.

One of the standout features of the new Power Watchdog is the addition of built-in WiFi, which complements its existing Bluetooth technology. This integration allows RVers to stay connected and in control from anywhere in the world without the need for extra hardware. With WiFi, users can effortlessly monitor and manage their RV’s power systems remotely, ensuring they are always informed and prepared.

The Power Watchdog is more than just a surge protector–it’s a complete power management ecosystem for your RV. It continuously monitors for a range of faults multiple times per second. Should it detect an issue, it will immediately alert you. With the addition of WiFi, the redesigned mobile app is more powerful than ever. You can control settings such as light brightness, track past faults, monitor energy consumption, reset the consumption meter, and get notified of faults anywhere you have cell service.

The second-generation Power Watchdog also features our patented, replaceable surge module. In the event of severe power spikes, users can simply replace the module instead of the entire unit, making maintenance easy and cost-effective. This groundbreaking feature, combined with our industry-leading limited lifetime warranty, ensures long-term protection and peace of mind.

I’m happy to give a shout out to VanLife Outfitters. These folks are an incredible example of how a company should conduct business. Although I’m building a truck camper, I have bought several things from VanLife outfitters and their customer service is bar none . I would never hesitate recommending VanLife outfitters to anyone whether they are building a van camper or boat. And I might add even a tiny home. Everyone that I’ve talked to have been nothing but incredible. In particular, Jason in technical support was an incredible blessing to me. I had a problem with the Aqua Hot Gen 1 heater I bought from them. It was not the heater fault, but something I did. Jason helped bird-dog the solution and together we got it fixed. He stuck with me, did research, and called me back several times to make sure that the problem was resolved. These people know the business, many have their on rigs, which gives them the best experience. Thanks you Vanlife Outfitters!!!!

This company is amazing! Quick shipping, best price possible. Customer for LIFE! Thanks Vanlife!

My husband and I are doing our first vanbuild. As rookies, we have found Vanlife Outfitters to be a trusted resource for ease of product shopping and purchasing, video demonstrations, guidance and excellent customer service. They were particularly a great one-stop shop when building our electrical system.

I ordered most of the parts for my sprinter conversion from them. They have absolutely the best customer service. I had issues with my fridge installation duing the weekend and eamiled their customer service for help. Both times, they emailed me back with the instructions/help I need on Sunday. Thank you and this is absolutely my go to place.

Spent lotsa money here, will probably spend more. High quality products, fast shipping and tremendous support. Excellent free resources, e.g. wiring diagrams, on the website. Highly recommend.
