I'm not sure if I agree with your assumption that 'others...would be sitting in the dark', as I'm sure no one else in the same park has lost power. I also don't necessarily agree that 'just because' your voltmeter shows what you consider as 'low voltage', really is low voltage. Most any appliances or electronics have plenty of wiggle room when it comes to the variances in voltage, and are designed to handle it.
No, there's no 'haters' about using various devices, if it makes you feel good and let's you sleep easier at night, but the very vast majority of RV owners don't use them, and aren't 'in the dark', either.
Just like in anything in life, there are possibilities for 'everything you can imagine', but the reality is that the PROBABILITY is very, very slim, and well overstated by a few.
100,000+ miles over 5+ years and never any 'device' onboard or at the pedestal or any issues or problems...and we've seen a LOT of campground, rv parks, and private electrical situations where you might 'assume' there could be an issue - whether in the humidity-filled heat of the summer, or the wild low temps of the winter, or where the 'brother-in-law' is the 'electrician'. : ) It's all good, nobody's a hater.
