complaints when using a hughes autoformer

Funny I just had to get out my autoformer at a park over the weekend, that is notorious for low voltage. It is a decent park otherwise. This park is on of the reasons I purchased a autoformer.

Even well run, well funded park systems with up-to-date electrical facilities such as our Ontario Provincial Parks can be stressed during the busy summer months to the point where low voltage becomes a real issue. It's happened to us each year at The Pinery which has a 1000 sites in operation, about 40% of which are 30 amp electrical. During July especially it's tough to get a site of any kind without reserving well in advance, an electric site is almost impossible. At those times when everyone is running A/C voltage takes a nosedive and every summer my Progressive EMS says enough is enough and disconnects. A voltage regulator like the Hughes Autoformer would solve this but at something like $800+ Cdn it's pretty hard to justify when this only happens 2 or 3 times a season. Disconnecting with my EMS isn't the end of the world as the trailer just continues to run on propane & battery power - we just can't run the A/C but we use it so seldom anyway losing shore power for a few hours just hasn't proven to be the issue for us that it would be who is a full timer or lives seasonally in their camper.
