You Bought a Surge Protector for Your RV — But What About Your Fuel?
A surge protector is one of the smartest purchases any RV owner makes. But while you're protecting thousands of dollars of electronics inside, your fuel cap is completely exposed outside. One fuel theft or contamination event can cost even more than a power surge — and your surge protector can't help.
The Cost Comparison
| Threat | What Protects It | Average Damage Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Bad campground power | Surge protector ($100–$400) | $500–$3,000 |
| Fuel theft | The RV Fuel Vault ($139.95) | $200–$500 per incident |
| Fuel contamination | The RV Fuel Vault ($139.95) | $5,000–$15,000 |
