I purchased the Hughes Autoformer 50amp. In 2004 to assist when I only have a 30amp supply. It worked well and did seem to prevent the breaker from tripping. At one point the device was not working properly and Hughes fixed it at no cost to me. Still using it today.

We saw a fellow RV’er with a Hughs Autoformer and he strongly recommended that we have one. Love the replaceable surge protector. Luckily we have not had to replace it! Just bought the rain jacket for ours. Looks like high quality material.

I have been using the Hughes autoformer for the past 10 years it's really helpful in Mexico where the voltage varies a lot, also while staying at Elks Lodges depending on how many RVs are plugged into the voltage lines. I highly recommend to use products for quality and reliability.

I have the Hughes transformer/protection on a 45’ class A Motorhome and I am fully aware of the ability to “boost” the voltage 2-4 volts when an RV park or campground is experiencing huge demand. I always have 120-124 volts ac on my monitor and have never experienced any appliance damage. I sleep good every night knowing the Hughes transformer/protector maintains safe voltage on my 50 amp service. Charles Thomas Zellwood, Florida

Several years ago, I bought my first Toy Hauler. It is a 31 foot model and has every amenity that my wife and I could possibly use! I had an electrician put in a 30 amp service to supply power while at the house and plugged it in. Zip-Zowwie-Kapow!!! Sizzle sizzle... It was end game... Do not pass go... Do not collect $200.00... Several thousand dollars later, and some very valuable lessons later, I purchased a Hughes 30 Amp Voltage Booster with surge protection, Model RV2130-SP. No more worries about plug ins and power surges. I just replaced the internal surge protection module as I'd used up all the built in protection, and I'm good to go once again!! This is "Peace of Mind" when it comes to the Toy Haulers "Very Expensive" electrical parts and appliances... Thank you Hughes!! Best money I spent on the Toy Hauler!!!

Response from Hughes Autoformers· Oct 16, 2020
Hello Richard, please give me a call, we can see what we can do for you. The units do have a 3 year warranty, but we also stand behind our work. Maybe there is something else we can do for you. Typically, it is the relays that go out as they are the only moving part. In the past we have discovered that there may have been a few bad ones, we have since changed relay brands. I want to see what we can do for you. - Brett
The Hughes Autoformer is user friendly and easy to use.

It has been a while since I purchased my current 2nd Hughes autoformer. 2nd was a 50 amp unit. Upgraded from a 30 amp unit. Gave my 30 amp to my brother. He still uses it. I consider it a necessary item. Never leave home without it. It works flawlessly. Boosts when needed. And that boost is needed more often than I would like to admit. Rv park power is so bad everywhere. My brother had a different brand that burned out several times. That is why I gave him my 30 amp Hughes autoformer. The Hughes autoformer has never failed. Both the 30 and my current 50 amp unit are working just fine. Only downfall is the 50 amp unit is HEAVY. But that is probably why it works so well. Uses an iron core isolation transformer. Reliable old technology. I prefer reliability over weight. I put it in a bucket to keep ground water away from it and put a tote over that to keep the rain off.
