Surge protector?

So let's say you have a good surge protector that also protects from too low and too high voltage. Now, let's say you have a waterfront reservation at Bahia Honda in the Florida Keys and when you get there and plug in, there's a low voltage issue and the protector won't connect. Very likely, the campground is full and most certainly another waterfront site is not available. What do you do in this situation when every other camper is plugged in and running the AC full blast?

Another option besides a generator would be a Hughes or Franks autoformer to boost the voltage. Am thinking about getting one but they're not cheap.

Low voltage is one of those things kinda like say, a critical illness that you hear about a lot and think it will never happen to you, and then whammy, it happens to you out of the blue one day. Have run into low voltage a number of times, but never as bad as at one Thousand Trails last year. Pulled into a site after a tiring trip late in the day only to find that the voltage was 106 before we even turned anything on. Not good. Got the "maintenance" dude (unlicensed electrician) to check it out and he adamantly insisted it was perfectly fine because he had just replaced the recepts. in the pedestal. Grrr. No choice but to dry camp overnight (and we're not dry campers). Pffft. Got up early next morning (no power, no coffee, no breakfast) to find another site that the "maintenance" dude suggested only to find it was equally bad. Ended up at a 3rd site in an area of 50 amps and that was good. If that wasn't bad enough, the day we got up to leave, the entire CG had no water because some RV-er broke a faucet at a pedestal (again, no morning coffee).
