complaints when using a hughes autoformer
I am looking at a used hughes autoformer. I know some parks rules say they are not allowed. Some parks we have been in, I have seen voltage at @ 102 to 104 with my a/c on. I would be using a PI 3o...

"First question: How do you know you haven't needed one? Unless you have a voltage meter that you monitor, you may well have had 104v power and were slowly cooking the air/con compressor but it may not fail until months later at another park with good power"
This weekend I had my autoformer in use however no one else seemed concerned about the low voltage. Without an EMS or at least a meter I imagine they were not aware the low voltage condition existed.
As the saying goes "Ignorance is bliss"
I decided on an autoformer purchase after being in a campground as the Friday night crowd rolled in. They start up the AC's and water heater's all within a short period of time and the voltage dipped to 99. When I walked about the campground, I asked a few if they knew that the voltage was low, only to be met with stupid looks and the "never had a problem" answers.
