Here's the update. The military campground did have electrical problems which appear to be corrected after 2 visits by the electricians. At one point my pedestal was varying between 77 and 102 volts while my neighbor was between 137 and 199!
We are now both at 124v at the pedestal and ALL SIX of my circuits, including TV's and refrigerator working fine on shore power. (never had the problem on genset power)
I am still baffled as to why 5 of the 6 circuits worked since it is now proven that the problem was external and BEFORE my surge protector. Is there some special circuitry or device inside my rig that shut down only that circuit to protect the major appliances?
