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...

Curious what CGs/RV parks people stay at where you don't run into low voltage? Do you monitor voltage with a permanent voltmeter mounted inside?
I monitor voltage with a semi-permanently installed digital volt meter and also have a permanently installed SurgeGuard that cuts off power if the voltage drops too low. That's never happened, nor have I ever seen it low enough on the meter to be concerned even during peak usage hours. We were at multiple state and national parks in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina all through January, February, and March and never saw a reading below 115, with 120-125 most of the time. All of the private parks we overnighted at while in transit showed similar voltage ranges. Where we are right now in upstate NY, we normally see ~120, although we're only seeing 114 right now. That's likely related to temporary sub-station load sharing while the power company folks are making permanent repairs due to a recent wind storm that left ~46,000 customers without power across the state for several days.
