208V Shouldn't be a problem with RVs that don't have 240 AC motors or appliances.
But are you guys really sure about what you're posting for condos, etc. I've always believed most appliances were 120/240V single phase. And you seem to be suggesting 120/208 2 phase (120 degree phase) difference is OK, I'd have reservations about single phase motors on this power. Plus my understanding is the target voltage is +-10% or 216V and not 208V.
In my house every AC has 2 motors. The dryer is gas with a 120V motor. Don't know what motor power an electric dry requires.
BTW Every home/condo that I'm aware of uses 120/240V single phase.
