Once again, CG staff dismissing an electrical problem for what it really is, and somehow 'blaming' your surge protector. Amazing, and typical. Caveat emptor in RV parks.
No where in the OP's post does he claim campground staff "blamed" his surge protector (in reality an EMS w/surge protection) but merely suggested he remove it and run directly from the power post. In reality, that's all they could have recommended as it's not like they can suddenly throw a magic switch and increase voltage back to where it should be. :R The OP instead made the only other choice available to him at the time - move to a different campground. If neither one of these solutions is acceptable then the OP has only one other alternative - invest in a voltage regulator such as a Hughes Autoformer that will boost low campground voltage so it is acceptable.
X2 on this, the folks behind the counter aren't likely able to do anything.
My opinion, perhaps wrong, the ownership knows about the low voltage but doesn't care as long as the roster is full for the busy months.
Want a refund, fine, I'll call your bluff - good luck finding another chance with an opening at the last minute.
