Help with A/C freezing up ..
My brother in law swapped his 13.5 A/C last year for a brand new 15k A/C at a local RV repair. That place is now closed and he had an issue this past weekend.. We were camping in 90* weather Frida...

Could be a variety of options. Best case scenario is that the fan was on low. It doesn't move enough air to keep up with the humidity, the excess humidity freezes on the coil. Our AC is always on high, I don't even know why low is an option.
In regards to voltage, I'm not sure what low voltage would do in terms of allowing the coil to freeze. Just because YOU had low voltage doesn't mean that he did. I stayed at a beautiful state park a couple years ago that had 7 sites per run of electric. I kept getting low voltage and my EMS would disconnect power, my FIL at site 22 next to us never had a blip on his power and ran fine all weekend. The park ranger told us to avoid sites 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35, because they all had voltage problems in the summer when everyone's campers were pulling lots of amps for AC.
This is the type of problem that you wouldn't know by simply checking the power upon arrival. We were among the first people to get there. Plugged in and immediately turned on AC with no problem. It wasn't until around noon the next day that everyone's ACs kicked on at the same time to cool down. Plenty of voltage at the start of the run, not enough at the end of the run.
