Denny, what brand/model surge guard do you have that has the builtin bypass option, I haven’t seen that and it sounds useful.
I suspect he is using a Progressive Industries unit. I have a 50amp hardwired model from Progressive Industries and it has a switch that allows me to bypass the EMS for situations such as yours.

Yes sir I tried to keep them in good shape doing regular maintenance and replacing parts as they wear out. Truck has 83,000 mi and was a local truck that an older couple had. Camper had three owners so it needed a little more work. This fall. I'm hoping to replace the back wall as water had got in and delaminated the back outer fiberglass from the wood. It is cheaper to repair than to buy new these days.
What year is your 28BH? How do you like it so far and how's the cab clearance with the short bed? I might be upgrading from a TT to a 28BH.
It's actually a 298BH. Apparently Grand Design discontinued it and it's replacement is this model. That said we love it. I was looking for a 28bh anyways haha.
I'm using the B&W companion hitch in the factory puck system. The rig has the turning point pin box which I use. So the pivot point is actually under the cap rather than at the hitch. We can get to 90 degrees, although we never do that. So it's been a great setup. The only thing I need to work on is loading the rig. These 150series units are designed to have lighter pin weights. I've noticed when we have the fresh tank full vs empty (and a bunch of stuff in the bedroom) the ride is a little different. At the cat scale we measured at about 16.5% pin weight or just under 1800lbs. So we're loading more water, canned foods, etc in the nose now. We also have nothing in the basement to see if we can travel with everything we need and have that space available for a future lithium battery upgrade (much needed).

I replaced the front wall of my trailer due to delamination. It was a lot of hours. Having four friends help when in came time to put the new fiberglass on was critical.
I agree it's a lot of work. I'll do most of the demo myself. I do have a family friend that has done that type of work. I do have some woodworking skills which will help immensely.
It's taken a few years of patience and waiting for the right 5th wheel to come along, but I finally joined the club!
2021 Grand Design Reflection 28BH
Pulled it back from Iowa to Michigan about 600ish miles and it is amazing how much better of a towing experience it is pulling a 5th wheel verses a travel trailer. I will never go back to a TT. The 7.3L pulled it like a beast.
