I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with the Hughs autoformer. Its suppose to give the voltage a boost if the incoming voltage drops below a specified limit.
It has saved me a couple of times. I have mine hard wired in, so it is out of sight, and in the circuit all the time. There are some parks that do not want you to use them, as they think you are stealing power. There have been a couple of times that the only way you knew it was working is when the park breakers trip.
I do not have a Hughes, but I use a PowerMaster (30 amp model) and it works very well. I keep one of the small analog voltage meters plugged into one of the galley outlets and it is very easy to tell when the PowerMaster kicks in. I think they are well worth the investment.
(I did have a TRC, but it quit functioning for no apparent reason and TRC said they did not have a procedure to fix it unless it was under warranty. Mine was out of warranty and they would not even accept it for repair - they told me I would have to buy a new one - that was one expensive mistake I won't make again!)
Have 50A one for years. Works well. If you have a surge protector, run shore to the Hughes to the surge protector to the coach. If the surge protector cuts off due to low power, the Hughes cannot do it's job.
I have one. Works great !!! I unplugged it and put it away on one of our camping trips to be able to get a early start the next morning. 15 min later there was low voltage and fried my ref, a/c, and heater. I highly recommend and plug in before using the RV and the last thing to unplug
