You need it when you need it but there is no way of knowing when

I've never had any damage due to surging but I now use surge protected leads as they don't cost a lot more

I would have thought it unlikely that you'll need a surge protected extension lead .

you can get a surge from generators but you should not get one from standard 12v supply in the van.

We don't use one.

My OH is a spark so he would be the first person who would use one if it was necessary
