Hi Tequila,
Nice article! Tripp-lite makes a power conditioner that can handle 2400 watts. Just about perfect for protecting an air conditioner. They say it maintains 120 volts and does buck and boost.
I have a sola basic unit.
I've been told there is a adjustment to allow the voltage set points for boost to be adjusted. Do you happen to know which "pot" it is on the circuit board?

There are distributors in various parts of Mexico. This generally eliminates the need for a Voltage Protector, which costs about the same, although having both is a good idea. This unit is reliable & robust and it certainly gave me far more consistent power. The 4 KVA version is sufficient.
The problem is, you have to wire them up yourselves and you need to bring a couple of items down from the US. We are sourcing these for our Caravans and I have produced an instruction sheet on what you need to bring and how to wire them up. You may download it at
