Monitoring voltage at older camp grounds
We are at an older camp ground in Needles CA and yesterday it was 114, so checked out let and voltage reading was adequate 112, turned A/C on and settled in, forgot to switch fridge to gas only, for d...

The absolute best way to protect stuff is with a hybrid inverter, although on 12 volts, you are limited to a 3000 watt unit. These will draw from the battery if the voltage gets too low, and one can attach an external battery charger to keep the batteries topped off.
Second best would be an autoformer, then behind that, an EMS which cuts off the circuit if the voltage (adjusted by the autoformer) goes below 110 volts. This will help with low voltages at campsites, by using more amperage for the same load.
Both methods trade amps for voltage, so if the wiring is popping breakers already, neither of these solutions will help.
