To address the OPs original question:
" Is there truly a danger when not using one? " And to keep the thread police happy, I will say yes. The dangers are many and expensive as some have explained.
I went all in with the Hughes Autoformer. More money up front was cheap insurance in my opinion. This unit offers surge protection as well as a voltage increase when needed. Not being a certified electrician my best explanation as to how it works is, the unit has a coil assembly that "holds" power similar to a transformer on the power pole. When needed that power is distributed to the trailer maintaining even flow. I guess.
No the unit does not make me a "power hog". Please read the literature associated with this product before posting quips of that nature.
As for campgrounds that do not allow these units? Have not come across any yet and since the unit is out of sight I do not anticipate any problems unless park management is able to get a search warrant.
