I think that your own system is also part of the issue, since it can be somewhat overly sensitive and many cases like these, though it's understandable that you don't want to risk causing any issues within your coach. I think that sometimes these 'protection systems', while good for major issues, cause a lot of undue and unnecessary loss/tripping of power at the very moment you want it the most!
I also think that a 'low' power condition, while not something you want 'motors' to endure for extended periods, is not a deal breaker for your hardware.
Also, replacing a breaker has nothing to do with 'low' voltage. The breaker is only there to trip in the event of your coach trying to use too much amperage.
It's not fun when it happens, but in 3 1/2 years of full time traveling, parking, campgrounds, rv parks, and in ALL weather and temperature conditions, we've never had any issue with our 'motors' or 'electronics'... and that's with no type of 'extra' protection system as many folks subscribe to.
These protection systems are sometimes like a smoke detector that continues to beep and/or alarm for no reason. It's annoying, but you don't want to go 'unprotected', so you have to deal with it, even though the real chances of a fire a very, very slim. But nobody wants to be that 'somebody' in a news story. : /

I have used my surge protector/EMS every time I plug in for the last 10 years of fulltime travel, have had one fried due to faulty park power & another 2 or 3 times it wouldn't connect due to faulty park power, point being DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!
Also had my smoke alarm go off twice, once burnt toast, once at 3 am due to dead batteries.
CO/LP sensor has gone off 3 or 4 times, couple times while spraying air freshener, once at 3 am again when sensor had to be replaced & once bad rv batteries.
