Yesterday we plugged into our 4th campground 50 amp electrical supply on this trip and our Progressive EMS showed low voltage. Sure enough, the campground handyman had to replace a bad circuit breaker. We've gone nearly 4 years and never saw a problem.

The EMS was a good investment

I have a Hughes Autoformer...have you looked into getting one? I believe it's supposed to help in situations like this.

I agree....A few years ago (before I started using the Progressive EMS) I had one of my inverters fail because of a surge or low power (not sure which) and had to have it repaired at the tune of over $2,000.

I would agree the autoformer would help the OP in this situation. The problem I see though there was something wrong with the breaker. Sounds like it was defective and needed replacement. I am only speculating but it was probably converting voltage to heat. Not a good thing no matter how you look at it and a major issue in the long run.
Glad the OP called to have it checked and replaced.
