Hi Mex,
Thanks for the voltage under load tip. That will be a useful "go, no go" limit.
I've run a second cord (#12) for power for space heating now so I won't be using the load support feature so much. I'd still love to give a piece of my mind to the nutter who chose a 1591 watt draw microwave for the RV.
My OEM cord is #10 cold weather and a bit over 100 feet so I'm seeing a no load voltage of 112. That is until meal time when every house on the block turns on their stoves at once. The blasted microwave causes the voltage to drop to 105. I truly wish the Magnum load support worked as voltage support. Maybe this years RV budget will stretch to an autoformer.
