If the problem is being cause by low CG voltage or too many ACs on the branch circuit, a surge protector isn't going to solve anything. He need to find out what the voltage at the pedestal is and start working back from there.
My marine equipment doesn't shut off until it gets down to 103VAC, but IMO that's too low. When it gets down to that level, it can easily top below 100V with a load on it. AC compressors will continue to try to run and will draw excessive current to compensate.
I would be hesitant to give the OP any advice that would encourage the running of inductive loads on low line voltage.
