(Some RV questions)

BTW John,

If you plan to travel around to different campsites and or RV parks, I
recommend that you carry an inexpensive but accurate voltmeter with you and
check the voltage in one of your 120v outlets with the A/C on. Not all, but
some parks are notorious for having poor, outdated power service and the
voltage tends to droop when they get loaded.
If the voltage drops too much, it can damage your A/C compressor when it
tries to kick on.

When we had our house in Florida, the electrical power service was awful.
Voltage varied all over the place.
To make matters worse, I installed an underground, 30 amp electrical service
out to our RV that ran about 200 feet.
Even though I used a much heavier gauge wire (6 AWG) to compensate for the
run, the voltage at the camper would sometimes drop to 105 vac, sometimes
less when the A/C kicked on.

I purchased one of these to solve the problem and carried it with us in the
RV. If a park's electrical service was poor, I'd use it to keep the voltage
up at our site's service, protecting the A/C unit.

RV's and TT's are like boats. You simply can't spend enough money on them.
