Hughes | Watchdog Gen II – 30 Amp WiFi Surge Protector | PWD30W | 30 Amp | Bluetooth | Portable

Meet the next generation of the world's best-selling RV surge protector — the Hughes Power Watchdog Gen II 30 Amp WiFi Surge Protector (Part #PWD30W). As the successor to the original Smart RV Surge Protector, the Gen II has been redesigned from the ground up to deliver enhanced weather protection, improved security, and unmatched ease of use.

Smart Protection with Instant Alerts

When a problem is detected, the Power Watchdog turns red and displays the specific error code, while sending an instant notification to your mobile app — so you're always informed, no matter where you are. The error code indicator covers nine potential faults, with a code key printed right on the side of the unit for quick reference and a detailed explanation delivered to your phone to help you resolve issues fast.

Innovative Lit Clam-Shell Connection Bay

The Gen II's standout new feature is its lockable, lit clam-shell connection bay. The integrated light makes connecting in the dark far easier (and can be dimmed or turned off via the app), while the enclosed design provides robust weather protection. For security, the clam-shell door includes a ring for a padlock — on top of the standard lock ring on the cable — adding serious tamper resistance to keep your investment safe at the pedestal.

Built-In WiFi & Bluetooth Monitoring

Gen II Power Watchdog protectors come with built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, letting you monitor your RV's electrical system from anywhere in the world — no additional hardware required. An integrated energy use meter helps you track and manage electricity consumption, which is especially useful at parks that bill per kilowatt-hour.

Replaceable Surge Module

Like all Hughes surge protectors, the Power Watchdog uses a modular surge design. If a damaging surge occurs, the surge module takes the hit instead of your RV — and you simply swap in a new module rather than replacing the entire unit.
