EMS / Surge Protector
We are in the process of ordering our next home (Grand Design Momentum 397th). We will be getting a Surge protector / Energy management systems. Currently trying to chose between Hughes Voltage boo...

You can just as easily run both air conditioners, water heater, fridge, electric range and drop the voltage of the supply loop. The effect is virtually the same when using the booster or not.
5. Electrical engineering is far more complex than presented. The short version is that such devices lower everyone else's voltage. Maybe one in 10 is OK, but 3 in 10? More? Overheating wires throughout the park IS a hazard.
The correct solution is to properly engineer the park system. Park owners resist this answer due to the costs. Yet we all suffer with the danger and poor performance of inadequate power.
Please don't make it worse!
The real solution is to improve the supply circuit or turn off the accessories to reduce the load.
Otherwise it is just first come first served. Once the existing users drive the voltage down to 105 the rest should just do without. That is not really a solution either. Should I walk around and ask others to make do with less so I can just run my single A/C in my small trailer?
