Low Voltage

I have noticed more RV parks have voltage that I consider low. Just a question.
At what point as far as volts go , does low voltage become hazardous to electrical equipment in your trailer or RV. ? I’ve heard it’s about anything below 105 volts. Does anyone know the answer for a safe number on the voltage scale. In the past if it is below 110 without anything on , i’m OUT OF HERE.

I believe that in general the optimum VAC is 120 vac here in the good old U.S,A. The accepted variance would be plus or minus 10%. 108 vac minimum, 132 vac maximum. Voltages will vary under load.
However each of the appliances (refrigerator, air conditioner, microwave, heater. etc.) all have listed perimeters of operation. Check each to verify what voltages will be safe for your application.
Anything with an electric motor will suffer and potentially reducing the lifespan of that motor, i.e. Referigerators, air-conditioners.
