Low Shore Voltage
Last week we ran into an issue where the campground shore power for our site was only coming in at 104 volts(30 amps). We have a Progressive surge protector and it would not let the power flow. Report...

Hi GordonThree,
I did consider adding one. Here are the specifications:
Voltage Regulation: +10%/-12%
Input voltages over 128V are reduced by 9.6%
Input voltages between 103 and 112V are boosted by 8.9%
Input voltages below 102V are boosted by 18.8%
Maintains usable 120V nominal output during brownouts as low as 87V and overvoltages as high as 140V
I would guess "yes". It would have to be placed after the circuit breaker for the air conditioner. It might be that there is too much start up surge for this unit.
I decided that the 4000 VA Sola Basic was a better fit as it can deal with an entire 30 amp RV (which is me)
Good point, it might not have the grunt to handle the 56 LRA on my rooftop. Going from 2400VA to 3600+ really runs the price up.
I was thinking of switching my AC to a separate cord, so I could either plug it into a dedicated outlet in the RV (wired to the AC's former breaker,) with or without a booster, or into its own extension cord to a 20 amp circuit at the pedestal again with or without booster.
8 out of 10 times I'm camping on my own electric service, using a generator. The 9th time, I'm in a mostly empty park, outside of air conditioning season, so this is for the 1 in 10 chance I'm at a electric park suffering under peak demand.
