"....yet to encounter a campground where we had voltage/amperage issues(at least to my knowledge) ."
Then-in lies the problem.....you are not monitoring the voltage so you really don't know if it went hi/lo. With the proper EMS (Energy Management System) it will protect from surges, hi/lo voltage conditions, test the power source for proper wiring and with a remote you can see the voltage.
We FT and have one........it has shutdown power source on a couple of occasions due to LOW voltage conditions which can be very harmful to the A/C Unit motor(s). And it has identified a few power pedestal wiring problems----open neutral.
If you choose one get the Progressive Industries Brand----Lifetime Warranty (Surge Guard Brand only 1 year).
Skirting.........personal choice. I choose not to have one. We travel weekly vs prolonged stays and I just don't care about adding to my set-up/tear down routine.
Anything we have outside is OK to be outside...rain, snow, sleet and/or sunshine so I don't worry about them.
FT RVng is ALL about NOT worrying :B
