Surge Guard 50A Hardwire Instructions

After experiencing bad connection with a power pedestal in Stillhouse Hollow, I went ahead and ordered 50A Surge Guard hardwire and a LCD display. However, I need help on locating the main line where I can install the Surge Guard in my 2013 Flying Cloud 30 RB twins -- I am not sure where I need to start to look. Once I know the access point and the wires, the wire hookup is an easy part for me since I'm technically inclined. Thanks!

The wires between the receptacle on the outside of your camper (where you plug your power cord into) and the circuit breaker panel is where it needs to be. Not sure if the is room for it.

Mine is installed right where the wires from the outside receptacle enter the trailer. The tech told me you want to have it as close to the receptacle as possible.
