So let's say you have a good surge protector that also protects from too low and too high voltage. Now, let's say you have a waterfront reservation at Bahia Honda in the Florida Keys and when you get there and plug in, there's a low voltage issue and the protector won't connect. Very likely, the campground is full and most certainly another waterfront site is not available. What do you do in this situation when every other camper is plugged in and running the AC full blast?
bypass the SP and limit use to non "sensitive" appliances, and alternate use of generator to keep cool.

What Bumpy mentioned is exactly what we did last summer. Temps were in the low 90's, a lot of AC in use and our EMS tripped from low voltage. We were in a shaded area, so changed the fridge to gas only, no AC and ran both Fantastic Fans and opened windows. During the day we used the fans to pull in air and push it out the roof. When the temps went down, we reversed the fans to pull in the cool air.
