Power conditioner at koa campground

Hello all.

We're staying at a koa in Seattle Tacoma.
Running the a/c and microwave simultaneously makes the $250 power conditioner turn off.

Upon inspection, the power level shows 109 or 105 volts and goes from 15 amps to 25 amps on the display.

The maintenance guy said bypass the conditioner because their system is fused and they've been getting this all summer.

Needless to say, I'm hesitant to take his word for it.

Opinions anyone?

Thanks.

The safest choice is not to run the microwave and air conditioner compressor at the same time. It could only be a minor inconvenience to switch off AC for a few minutes when using microwave. If it is a problem, I'd put a voltmeter on your system and bypass the conditioner temporarily. If the voltage didn't sag below 103 volts with both running, you're OK according the the specs on my Dometic. From there, lower voltage is a murky non recommended territory. I may be tempted to go a little lower for a brief time for a good reason.

Overall though managing load by shutting off the air conditioner while using microwave is pretty typical RV practice when needed.
