hughes autoformer

Hello. We are planning to hook up our 30 amp travel trailer to house current at a family members' residence. I plan to buy a Hughes Autoformer for those times when we stay are rv parks. Is the Autoformer ok to use when using house current?

    Be sure you do not connect to a 30 amp 220 volt outlet. I've never tried our autoformer on a 15 amp circuit so I'm not sure what it would do.

    if it is one or the other, I would go with a multi function surge protector. if you keep getting shut down due to low voltage, either get an autoformer or choose better parks.

    The autoformer is probably not necessary but can't hurt anything. I won't plug in anywhere without my(P.I.) E.M.S. unit though.
    If you are plugging into a 30 amp circuit make sure it is 110v not 220v.. A 15amp or 20 amp is no worry.
