Loading is good but not with expensive RV appliances. Light bulbs are good and cheap if they blow.
Ceramic heaters offer a much higher load possibility. I'd sacrafice a ceramic heater if required, better that than a $3K AC. As a resistive device and small fan if might survive high voltage for short duration.
Electronics like TVs, MW, etc may actually be using power when turned off and high voltage will probably let the smoke out.
Some appliances cannot be turned off like a charger and my post CB panel inverter/charger. CB's should turn them off.
As posted a careful visual inspection of all connections should be high on the priority. This should include the ATS, power protector, pass through inverter (pre CB panel), etc if so equipped.
