It may work once or twice, barely, but your gonna ruin that bore cleaner.
The Real McCoy is called for here.
What about removing the CG worn out outlet, and installing your own good outlet. Of course remove your good outlet and reinstall the CG junk outlet when it is time to leave.

I no longer have the pistol that the bore cleaner goes to. But I have 6 U2200 Interstate battery's, I have yet to put in an inverter, so I can be off grid also. Who really needs a campground with full hook ups anyway.
One of the reasons my signature says beware of KQ Ranch/CRA Resorts. Is a bad pedestal that screwed up my RV electrical system.

Speaking from an RV park owner's perspective, PapPappy stated pedestal voltage checked at 125vac, but a recepacle inside the RV checked 105-108vac when he turned the a/c on.
In my many years of park ownership I have NEVER seen voltage drop that much, and would be willing to bet the problem is within the RV, not the park's power.
Of course RVers always blame the park, placing the burden on us to prove them wrong, and I prove the park's power is good almost 100% of the time an issue arises.
I previously posted a long method of checking power at the pedestal while the unit is plugged in. If he still has 125vac (or close to that) on the line prong plugged in, and still has 105-108vac inside, he has a problem between his shore line plug and that receptacle.

If you have NEVER seen voltage drop like the OP states in your park, I would bet that your park is one of the few and far between that are wired correctly.
I have seen 93V at a "low end" park once.
The pedestals were ancient as was the park.
I pulled up, paid, went to my site, and tested the voltage.
I then went right back to the office, got a refund, filed a complaint, and hit the road.
If the power issue is indeed the parks problem and they dont want to fix it, Just head on down the road to the next park .
If the issue is in the OPs rig, nothing is to be said to the CG owner/manager, as it is not their fault.

Thats bad. You would need two autoformers in series with that voltage.

i had bad voltage at 2 different koas in va and nc , and when they told me to move to a different site, i took my toaster and a vom over to a different site and used them to check fore low voltage, before i packed up and moved. sure enough there was no better sites then over in my area, and the cg really wasn't even crowded. you have to put a load on the pedistal to see what the voltage will drop to.
