I'd consider that.


It works great and I’m glad I have it onboard. Be advised that there is some controversy around Autoformers. See post 36. Using the device will draw an amp or two more from the pedestal as the increased voltage isn’t magic. Some folks think it’s “stealing” more power from other sites or overtaxing the parks system. But from the campgrounds perspective it’s no different from switching your fridge from gas to electric or adding an accessory that draws an amp or two. You can’t draw more power than the pedestal can provide or more than you paid for or the pedestal breaker will trip.

I’m no expert but I believe ACs and other devices start to struggle if the voltage drops below about 107 or so and they work best between 115 and 125.
