Do the pedistals at Euro camps use the same connectors as indigenous to the country (IE the Brit 13A 240v or the round Schuco type found in much of Europe) or do they use camp specifc connectors like our TT-30 for Travel Trailer only use? Once you know what the largest breakered supply is you can get a tapped transformer that exceeds that primary rating. These are common in Europe in the concert industry to step down power for US band stage gear that is brought over and provide many 120V Edison drops on stage. The multiple taps provide wiggle room (maybe 5V increments) to get as close to 120V or even slightly over to allow for sag, (Like Onan set to 125 to get a good 120V) in different countries. I guessing the "pig" as they are called would be roughly a 1' cube size and a 2 man'er. Would probably want to mount above rear wheels but retain access to move the taps. You should be able to find used or surplus units.
