The folks we know with a 110 system are not happy with it. Our AC is also 220 whether it is better or not I don't know. What I do know is that if the dock doesn't have 220 you are out of luck. We spent last Christmas in Puerto Vallarta at the only slip without 220. Bev was baking Christmas goodies in 95 degree heat. You pays your money and takes your choice! Dolph M/V The Right Whale
