Solution for shoreline to 50Hz 100V
My RV requires 120V 60Hz, but I only have 100V 50Hz available. Suggestions for a solution to this?

do you need/use the A/C and MW
those are the two most critical items for frequency
everything else the converter charger and any USA appliances just need 120v
electric motors fans, compressors etc.. will run about 16 percent slower
but should be OK as long as the voltage is increased to 120v and the load is not severe, aka 100* temperture days
most electronics won't care, most are designed to operate from 100-250v and have switching power supplies
but the charge converter will probably need 120v
electric heaters, hair dryers, etc.. will be NOT as hot but will work fine with no damage to them
since this is a fixed 100v 50Hz
a 30amp aka 3600 KVA 'buck-boost' transformer, wired to boost mode
put it in a box with male 100v connector on the input lead and female RV connector on the output lead, this will prevent accidental over voltage damage, if true 120v power is available somewhere ?
you haven't mentioned what the local AMPS/watts of the hookup will be
100v 20amp ? 30 Amp ?
this is going to control what you can power up and the MAX size the boost transformer needs to be
