I have a SurgeGuard 35550 installed in my coach:
"Product description"
"This 50 amp Surge Guard product monitors shore power continuously and shuts off when it detects power surges, open ground, open neutral, low or excessive voltage, miswired pedestals, reverse polarity, or elevated neutral current conditions that could damage electronic equipment in your coach. Like its 30 amp partner, the 50 amp hardwire unit is permanently installed within the bay of your coach, preventing potential theft and damage from the elements. Optional Remote LCD Display conveniently and remotely monitors RV electrical power."
You do realize, your surgeguard will happily keep you powered down to 102V. That's well below what I'm comfortable with.
I also have an installed voltmeter where it's easily seen, and have never seen a voltage low enough to cause me any concern even at peak usage hours. I do recall seeing a brief 108 reading at a small campground some years ago, but that's the lowest I've seen in the last 15-20 years. In 75 years of camping/RV'ing, I've never had an appliance failure that I could attribute to low voltage. Maybe I'm just choosing the right places to stay. Or lucky...
