Good to know, CAVIE, that an autoformer is TOTALLY different! Except you are wrong. Catch up!
Per Hughes at: https://hughesautoformers.com/product/30-amp-3600-watt-booster-with-surge/
“Introducing the World’s Only “All-in-One” RV Power Solution.
The legendary, original, and patented RV voltage booster, now with the world’s most advanced surge protection.
The all new Hughes Autoformer 30 amp power boosting autoformer (RV2130SP) has the same performance and reliability of the RV2130 but now has advanced surge protection built in! The unit offers 2,400 Joules of surge protection. As an added feature, the surge / spike protection module is also replaceable. In the event of a massive spike, the surge unit will take the hit ensuring your booster and more importantly, your RV is not damaged.”
several years ago, an electrician friend had occasion to visit the Hughes facility for repairs to his Autoformer. They allowed him into the workshop area.
He was not impressed by their workmanship (and some internal wire sizes). Maybe things have changed.
Some parks will not allow you to use an autoformer. So you must do so in "stealth" mode. No clue how they would know whether you are using one or not.
IMO- If a park can't supply adequate electrical service w/o a "boost" from an autoformer, I'll move on down the road.
