while there's some truth to that, the Original post was simply a concern about whether they could 'plug into' a regular household outlet, whether 15amp or 20amp, we don't know.
throwing in other miscellaneous info and unrealistic concerns for the common camper is overkill...

I think the concern about 'low voltage' is not a real problem with typical household outlets, as otherwise the whole house would be experiencing problems before the 'camper' ever arrived.

You can't control voltage, you can only control the amps you use.
