This is simply my opinion and not based on research but my observation is that 90% of campers do not use any power protection and I've never talked with anyone who attributed product failure to low voltage.

I'd say it's more like 98% of RV owners who don't use any sort of power protection for their rigs but I do personally know of several who have suffered damage, in most cases the converter. My own closest local dealer in an average year will replace a couple dozen, earlier this year sold a new trailer and had it returned a short time later with a blown converter, microwave oven, and electric fireplace - the suspicion being the owner had used an adapter of some sort and tried to plug it into a 240 vac source - a scenario any EMS would absolutely have prevented. JMO, but every RV owner should be using some sort of surge protection device that will also detect line wiring issues and shut off power to the rig if it's either too low or too high.

I agree with using something, which is why I do but I guess my point was thatthe odds are greatly in your favor that you'll be OK. Most folks like to play the odds since it's a choice beteeen spending a not insigficant sum of money now vs maybe never....they never look at the cost of their gamble if they are wrong....just human nature.
