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

Well I do need my AC. Hot summer days here in Japan may hit 110*F outside. Inside my camper: Well done. I ran the AC in my old Winnebago Minnie directly on the 100V (or less) 50Hz that they have here. It lasted a long while but eventually gave up. I blew a lot of circuit breakers also, lol. Also my microwave didn't work.
Dale: Thanks for the tip about the autoformers. Good solution to take care of the voltage difference.
wa8yxm: Your Source-----CONVERTER--_Battery----True Sine Wave Inverter-----Output solution is nice in theory, but requires wiring for 300A + 12V DC. And you are basically describing a frequency converter, which I have been considering for a while. Just a little difficult to find one for single phase and that works with those voltages and frequencies. And they're expensive...
