I first noticed it in in older CG during a hot spell. Older CG's that haven't been updated were not set up for the large RV's with multiple AC units that we have now. I saw the voltage dropping to unacceptable levels and notified the CG. They said they understood the issue , but there was nothing they could do. I packed up and left for another CG in the area. Shortly afterwards, I bought an EMS and then a bit later a Hughes autoformer. That was about 15 yrs ago and between the Hughs and the EMS I've been OK since.
