I suppose there is some truth in the fact that you need to be able to monitor your voltage. However, saying going to another campground doesn't matter is pretty far off base.
"Some truth? Off base?" ... hardly. :R If the OP goes to another campground but continues to ignore incoming source voltage (which varies constantly by load, his and everyone else's) he still will have no idea what he's dealing with or how frequently low voltage may be an issue and he'll be right back here again asking why he's still having problems. He's already made the mistake of buying an EMS which doesn't display voltage so his best recourse is to invest in a DVM or even an energy meter like the Kill-a-Watt that does.
