Guess there is no reason to be plugged in really so might as well unplug. Don't know how we are getting the high voltage but when at 131 and used microwave, voltage went to 128 or 129 or lower while microwave in use, then back up. Anyone had this?

A poor ground might be the cause, either in the trailer or external. Not likely, but worth looking at.

Since the campground found a bunch of high readings, we expect it is not us. Also, I don't have a clue how to check for a poor ground! Would you like to explain how, please? Wouldn't the EMS tell us about a bad ground?

I think the EMS would indicate a bad ground, but not certain? You would need a multi-meter to begin troubleshooting a bad ground. I would hope the CG has a quantified electrician available to troubleshoot their system, and or the utility source.

I think this is the largest campground on Lake Texoma, and there are many, with 117 sites, Army Corps. They have electricians and they say they cannot fix it but supposedly called it in to the power company.
