Correct on how the autoformer works. My gauge is plugged into a kitchen outlet and when I see a drop below the threshhold the autoformer kicks in an brings it back up 10%. Unless there is a problem with that particular circuit I'd guess the problem is the amount of draw in the park bringing the voltage down. In that case the autoformer shines. Or does for us. An electrical problem within the coach would be a different story, as noted.

I forgot the autoformer threshhold but it is well above the numbers he's seeing inside the coach. First he needs to figure out if he has a problem or if the park power is the problem.

See another Montana or Mountaineer on the road? Flash lights twice, it might be one of us!
