If your vintage trailer has a new microwave or refrigerator in it you may want to consider buying a surge protector. Just like your home computer, these appliances have their own circuits that are vulnerable to electrical surges. RV parks and campgrounds are notorious for electrical surges and these surges can damage your very expensive refrigerators. All new refrigerators and microwave ovens have little computers in them. The boards in these appliances may be damaged by surges. Even the new water heaters and air conditioners have computer circuits in them and they are very expensive to repair.
PPL has these on sale at the moment so I thought I would post the link here. But no matter who you buy from, just be sure to protect your appliances from electrical surges. You can get them for 30 amp or 50 amp services.
