I have used the Progressive Surge protectors.  I have had three now.  Two gave their all for the RV too.  Saved me thousands of dollars.  I also use a Hughes Autotformer too if I am in an campground that is prone to brown outs.  Here is the link:  Hughes Autoformers

You should be aware that autotransformers at RV parks are a thing of the past and are not allowed under the national electrical code. This is discussed many other places so won't repeat here. Having said that I don't agree with that and I'm sure there are ways to hide it on-board and nobody would be the wiser. 

I guess lacking that, the best solution is to get a power monitor that shuts off power when the voltage gets too low, then complain to the park that they don't have usable power.

I have checked this a lot, and from my experience, there are two things to pay attention to, your "permanent" residence when you buy insurance, and the network of that insurance.  The cost of a policy could vary greatly depending where your declared residence is.  For me, getting insurance through the AZ retirement system, the cost if I don't live in AZ  is almost double if I do. Both plans cover me in any state.

Second, its the network of your plan that matters. It may be national or regional. So your actual location doesn't matter as long as many in-network doctors are there. Some plans will pay less if you are not in-network, some plans won't pay at all for out-of-network.

But do read a policy before signing. More and more insurance companies are looking for ways to get out of paying, so anything is game.

Another option, if you have a house with Internet, mount an antenna on that house, and connect it to either an Amazon Fire TV Recast, and an AirTV tuner. We have both actually.  Then you can connect to these via Internet and watch your local TV remotely. There are even some recording options.
