Replying to Transformers? (The electical kind)

Hello,

I am heading to Breck in a few days for the season, but coming from England I know the power from the mains is different in America. Here, the mains voltage is 240volts, but in America I have read that the mains volatage is only 110. Does anyone have any experience of this change? And are my electical appliences going to charge ok with the lower amount of power?

I was looking into getting a step-down transformer for the mains to change the voltage before it runs through my stuff, will this make any difference?


Sorry for the long and slightly stupid post, but any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Tom
