Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a look at this Hughes Autoformers 30 Amp Voltage Booster with surge protection. Now, by placing this unit between your RV and the park power source, you'll be preventing the damaging effects of both low line voltage and high voltage spikes. So, basically while the other campers operate at a dangerous 105 volts, you'll be running your appliances at a nice, safe, and comfortable 115 volts. This voltage booster increases the volts that is going to your RV to protect your electronics from low voltage damage.
It'll boost voltage by 2% while it's in the standby mode, and it begins boosting voltage by 10% when the voltage is 113 volts or below, and it will shut off when the unit receives 90 volts or less. The built-in surge protector will protect the unit in your RV from power spikes; offers 2,400 joules of surge protection. Now, before connecting your RV to your park power, you want to plug in this booster to the park power without the RV connected. And then it'll show three lights in green. Let me just zoom in show you the front what we're talking about.
But right over here, one, two, three; These three lights will light up. If they're all green that'll let you know it's safe to connect your RV. Now, if it shows red on any of the lights you want to read the chart, which is right down here on the front here. And it'll tell you what the problem is before connecting to your RV. Now, these LED diagnostic lights will show if your park power pedestal, right up here, is providing stable power.
And then the boost indicator right over here, this'll signal when the unit is boosting voltage. Now, the cord on this you can see, this'll let you place the voltage booster at a nice, safe spot. Length on this cord is about 54 inches. If you notice it does include this nice cable lock with the two keys, this'll help you lock this to help prevent theft of this. This part is made in the USA.
Few specs on this; The dimension is five and a half inches by five and a half inches. And all the way up to the top of the handle is 12 inches tall. Again, the amps on this is 30 amps and the wattage is 3,600 Watts. But that should do it for the review on this Hughes Autoformers 30 Amp Voltage Booster with surge protection..

The built-in surge protector offers 2,400 joules of protection against power surges.The product is fine however I would like to mention Kristina* over at etrailer, had an issue and not even 10 minutes later she got on the horn and another call came in letting me know it was fixed. It’s hard to get anyone to do their job at all. Girl needs a raise!
I just got it I have not tried it yet .
Review from a similar Voltage Booster in RV Surge Protectors
Order was delivered days before anticipated. Products arrived exactly as expected. Easy installation I could do myself. Within 30 minutes had Autoformer installed within RV and all electric working properly. Thank you for the prompt response to my order. The video of the install and product features eTrailer provide are excellent.

Replaced Progressive device which constantly dropped out due to low supply voltage. Huges Autoformer instantly corrected that problem.
Review from a similar Voltage Booster in RV Surge Protectors
Have not used but from other reviews it appears to be a quality piece of equipment. Great pricing and very fast shipping from etrailer. It often seems as if items have already shipped before the order is complete (LOL) as they are very fast.
