Hughes Autoformers announced the release of the Watchdog Power Center, marking its final press release under the Hughes Autoformers LLC name.
This all-in-one RV power protection system represents the pinnacle of the company’s 20-plus year legacy – unifying its most successful, patented technologies into a single, intelligent product, the company said.
“The Watchdog Power Center is the most advanced RV power product ever made — a culmination of every breakthrough we’ve delivered since our first voltage booster,” said Pat Thomas, president and CEO. “We’ve taken our most successful, heavily patented technologies and unified them into one comprehensive product. This is not just another upgrade — it’s the ultimate evolution of RV power protection.”
Watchdog Power Center is engineered to proactively manage and protect your RV’s electrical system. It monitors for faults in real time, automatically disconnects during unsafe conditions, and restores power when it’s safe. It shields against low voltage — the silent killer of RV electronics — by dynamically boosting power when needed. And with both WiFi and Bluetooth built in, it connects seamlessly to the Watchdog mobile app, giving RVers the ability to monitor consumption, control power, and receive alerts from anywhere in the world. The addition of an integrated display ensures that even without a smartphone, users can check real-time stats and system status at a glance.
Key innovations in the Watchdog Power Center:
- Smart Surge Protection with Emergency Power Off (EPO)
- Replaceable Patented Surge Module – cost-effective maintenance after a surge
- Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth – real-time monitoring and control from anywhere
- Integrated Display – see power stats instantly without a phone
- Patented Voltage Boosting Technology — corrects damaging low voltage automatically
- Over a Dozen Fault Protections – from incorrectly wired pedestals to surges and more
- Flexible Installation — external weather-resistant or internal mounting options
- The 30 Amp Watchdog Power Center is available now on our website with the 50 Amp model set to launch later this month.
A New Name for a New Era
After more than two decades of innovation, the launch not only introduces a revolutionary product — it also marks the final press release under the Hughes Autoformers name.
“Our first surge protector, the Power Watchdog Smart RV Surge Protector, was a giant leap in RV power protection. There was nothing even remotely close to it at the time,” said Thomas. “Its patented technology, paired with the now-iconic glowing bulldog, made it the best-selling RV power protection product on the market. It redefined who we were. So with this launch, it felt only natural to assume the identity officially — Hughes Autoformers is now Power Watchdog.”
With the name change comes a new, user-friendly website: www.powerwatchdog.com – making it easier than ever for RVers to find the perfect protection for their lifestyle.
