Rereading first post. A power CONDITIONER is one of two devices,
one (Actually called a power line conditioner) is a combination of converter, 12 volt battery and true sine wave inverter in series, last time I priced one it had a comma in it's price tag, and you would not use one of those to run an air conditioner,, A delicate lab test device yes, a air conditioner.
The second is what we here call an auto-former (Which is a trademark for one company) that is an automatic voltage boosting or bucking transformer, It has no "OFF"
What you have is a power Manager or Monitor (I prefer monitor) also known as an RV Surge guard that's the only one of the devices which can turn you off.
Problem: too much resistance getting to your park outlet or bad connection to park outlet
Solution.. Do not run A/C and microwave at same time.
