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.

Yes, I have an opinion...
I actually worked at this campground several years ago as a maintenance worker. The problem with this campground is that it is OLD. The wiring is undersized and has too many pedestals on each electric loop. We found many loose connections in pedestals and lots of half burnt and undersized wiring. We also had to set a fan to blow on the mains to try to cool them off because they were too hot to touch. And, we poored ice on the transformer to cool it off. Low voltage is a known problem. At this time of the year with the campground fairly full the problems really show up. What the owners need to do is totally rewire the campground from the transformer, to the main breaker panel to... everywhere. Keep using your auto disconnect. It is protecting you.
