Question 1

If i purchase this, what would be the solution to using my honda eu2000i to power my camper ?

Accepted Answer

Honestly using that generator you don't even need this.  This generator is not capable of surging enough watts to cause harm to the camper, and you are the only one using this power.  
What you need this for is when you are plugged in to shore power that is shared by others.

Question 2

If it detects a surge, is the surge protection component of the unit toast?  If so, can it be replaced without replacing the whole unit? how much?

Accepted Answer

Many surge protectors (especially those with integrated energy management) can shunt smaller surges to neutral or ground.  Virtually ALL surge protectors, however, protect against larger surges by having one or more components fail, opening the circuit quickly.  This is preferable to trashing an expensive computer or audio system, or worse yet, causing a fire.

Unless someone here has experience with a damaged unit and can reply, your best bet is to contact the manufacturer directly, in order to determine if it's cheaper to "repair" or replace a damaged unit.  I put quotes around "repair" because some units save on manufacturing costs by not having replaceable protective components.   It's often more cost-effective to the manufacturer to just swap your damaged unit with a brand new one at a drastically reduced price, and call it "servicing" or "repair."   You shouldn't really care which way they handle it, only whether you have to pay full price again.

Question 3

Does this unit eliminate the need for a surge protector at the plug end of the shore power cable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this takes the place of, and is better than, a surge protector at the plug end of the shore power cable.

Question 4

Progressive industries ems-hw30c portable electrical management system - 30 amp can this system be bypassed after it is hooked up

Accepted Answer

It is a portable system. You hook it up each time you use it. Instead of bypassing it, you would simply not use it. You plug this unit into the Campground power supply, and then plug your shore power line into the unit.
