As I recall from my 2 trips low voltage was prevalent, not high, so I wonder if these devices would be alarming so much that I'd stop using it?
Low voltage can cause major problems too, just not as quick to surface. Any AC motor overheats if it is run at too low a voltage, especially if it's running under load, like your air conditioner or forced air heater. It may not show up until months later but it will shorten it's life. Your DC motors will not be affected as much since they are running at 12 volts.
Electronics are also under extreme strain when running at a low voltage which will shorten their life; much faster than a motor though.
My experience has been that the voltage is too low during the day and too high overnight. The only thing that saved my equipment a couple of times is the fact that my inverter is in the circuit any time I'm on AC (Shore or Gen). It automatically records the voltage and shuts down when things go egg-shaped. It has to be reset manually.
In case there is any question, 120 VAC electrical/electronics (including my inverter) are designed to run on inputs of between 98 - 132 volts (10%+-).
