I apologize that this is a bit technical of a question, but I know a few people here are technical kind of guys.
I am going to run an electric line for a motor home, with aluminum wire, a distance of 700 feet. The motor home needs 40 amps 120 volts.
Voltage drop is a major issue here. My thought is to use a transformer to either run 240 volts there and step it down to 120 volts . Option 2 is use a buck boost transformer to raise the 120v. voltage a few volts at the end of the line. What about a transformer with a regulator to keep the voltage even in varying loads conditions? Please don't worry about my using aluminum wire as I know how to properly connect it (I am an electrician). This is to be used only occasionally for recreation purposes at a pond (city slickers camping out in town).
