Hi temccarthy1,
A sola basic autoformer has 3 levels of boost (110, 100, 90 volts) and one level of buck (135 volts). I've added surge protection to mine.
Shut down voltage on your EMS is 104 not 108 volts. That is too low for my comfort level.

Our new EMS shut down power 4-5 times a day for 5 days to our TT for OVERVOLTAGE which was exceeding 134 volts! I talked to the park Ranger who said, YES, they have had this problem for 2 years and he is aware of the cumulative damage it will do to electronics, AC and other appliances in a camper... said their NY state park engineers have not got around to fixing! He said very few campers own one of these EMS devices because of the cost are are unaware of the problem! Outrageous! The very next campground also in NY state, had our EMS shut down twice for LOW voltage ( under 108 Volts, which will also damage same appliances and electronics. So unless you have thousands saved up to replace these appliances and electronics after only a year or 2 of use, GET ONE OF THESE EMS units.. Progressive is the best with the ONLY lifetime warranty!
