Voltage Regulators - effect on CG breaker?
If I get a voltage regulator will it make it more likely that the CG breaker feeding my unit will trip in low voltage situations? If the CG is struggling to keep up with demand causing a voltage drop ...

Assuming the voltage regulator is an autoformer, yes it will result in you drawing more amps and increasing the risk of tripping the main breaker. You devices will draw more power (in watts) at the boosted voltage, resulting in more amps at the lower voltage of the shore power connection. The maximum power you can draw from the pedestal is the breaker size multiplied by the voltage. When the voltage is lower, the available power is lower.
