Micro Air Soft Start for AC
I installed this on my Casita. Works great. This came out in a Article today. http://www.trailerlife.com/tech/this-is-cool/?utm_source=exacttarget&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TLN21589_09202019

Even with microaire voltage drops to 97 volts, when starting the Dometic 13500 air conditioner with a Yamaha 3000 Sieb. If I add the load support feature on the Magnum to the mix, voltage still makes a huge excursion down and the red over load light triggers on the Magnum remote.
Further, I had to "tweak" the cut in voltage on the autoformer to cut in at 113 volts, when on shore power after the microaire was installed.
If I were to do it again, I'd save my pennies. (i.e. I "fixed" something that was not broken.)
have you tried to redo the "learn procedure" on the micro air? I have a fast acting peak reading current meter I used on mine as I monitored the peak inrush during the learn procedure with line power. It started at close to 50A and by the 5th cycle the peak reading during startup is 22A on my coleman MachIII 13.5K BTU. That shouldn't drop voltage to 97V. The peak current is the same 22A when started from my honda 2200A.
It's worked wonders for us, we can now start and run the AC on one honda 2200 at altitudes up to 7000ft. Starts fine at those altitudes even in eco mode.
