So you may want to try that if you have a gas/electric fridge. We have a voltmeter plugged into one of our outlets which we check regularly. Running on low voltage can also cause damage to some things in the RV.
To prevent this issue add a surge protector/EMS, either hardwired or portable, to your RV.
IMHO one of these should be mandatory on every rv that rolls off the assembly lines.
