If a park is full, up to the latest code and it is hot out, there will almost certainly be low voltage.
So you can use a low voltage disconnect device (they cut out at 103 and 104, too low for my comfort) and swelter in the heat, or you can use an autoformer to correct the problem.
I use my autoformer a lot. In winter time it allows me full wattage from my electric heaters.
I try to be a responsible camper and limit my demand to 80% or less. i.e. 12 amps on a 15 amp, and 24 amps on a 30 amp.
On 50 amp I allow 30 amps.
I've set my Sola Basic autoformer to boost at 113 volts, up from the OEM 110 volts.
