Hello everyone. I'm buying my first travel trailer, a Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pup 16BHS. I am planning to do a lot of boondocking, and I want a generator. I want a small portable generator, but I d...

The autoformer I use can handle a lower input voltage. Lowest I've seen is 100. Output voltage was above 107 (I don't remember what it was). I'm supposed to be able to use it down to 90 volts input.
I was referring to the output voltage when I said 105v. I don't think you'll see much lower than because usually the main park breaker will be popping before it can drag the voltage much lower.
If you want to burn up your electrical system with low voltage, go for it. I'll break out the generator and deal with the consequences.
I won't be running the roof air at 105 volts. But I do get a 30% boost at 90 volts input. That works out to 117 volts. However as I said earlier in the thread the lowest input voltage I've seen is 100 volts.
I also 'tweaked' the input trigger voltage to cut in at 3 volts higher--so I get my first layer of boost at 113 rather than at 110 volts.
