Remember to check those electric outlets!

Craig, an autoformer just has a primary winding; the output is taken off of that winding at a point that will give the desired voltage. There is no isolation between the input and output.

The main trouble that I know of is that with low voltage from an overloaded system, the autoformer draws more amps to make up for the missing voltage.

We are leaving early this morning before the office opens up and i never got around to asking them about it yesterday. Tom's answer makes sense to me, which is kind of scary since i am not that good at electrical theory/comprehension.

Thanks Tom,

I guess I could see them not wanting to allow them if they draw more current to make up for low voltage. Potentially overloading already questionable campground circuits.
