Ok lets try to put this way. If someone were giving you a Surge Guard RV Voltage Regulator or Portable Surge Guard which one would be the best to take.

A surge regulator fosho. The benefits are that you won't have to listen to anyone b**tch in 90+ deg weather that you don't have A\C 'cause the doohickey 'tripped'. You just have to figure out where to install it so it don't grow legs and wander off.

This ems or the 50 amp version depending on your needs.
I'd put this autoformer in front of the device above (again pick the right amperage unit.
I don't need or want either.

I have both.Surge is hard wired w/display for voltage inside.Autoformer has helped on numerous occasions due to facilities at campground.I chain and lock it when I use it. Utility is only responsible to meter.I have not seen any that did not allow use but there is a lot I have't seen.
#1, Why would a voltage transformer not be allowed? Because to bring the voltage up for your rig, it must draw a disproportional amount of watts for your use, drawing down the voltage for everyone else.
#2. Another reason for having a good surge protector. The really good ones also test for proper wiring. Some campgrounds have a owner or manager working on the wiring. Illegal as all get out, but saves money. And my surge protector has caught wrongly wired pedestals more than once. I have had to move to a different spot in the campground to get safe electricity. I have a good friend who was talked into becoming a campground assistant manager/maintaince man and was ordered to repair the bad outlets. Knowing this was against the law, he quit the job.
