Casita lights flicker then off then on

Not Sure what’s going on with our lights but they are flickering on and off then I checked the fuse fuse seems to be OK and then I waited a little bit and they came back on in the AC circulated and then went back off is this a low amperage voltage battery problem or or what
Thanks
Linda

Sorry, but I read your post four times, and I still can't figure out what you're trying to say. The whole comment doesn't read well. Please edit it and "clean it up" so it makes sense.

Three posts; fan not working, lights flickering, and fridge not working. My guess your DC supply is malfunctioning, battery, converter, etc. Check your connections. If there is nothing obvious you'll probably need to seek out a professional.

The fact that the air conditioner is also malfunctioning indicates a problem with your 110 volt power supply to the trailer.

And a dead battery. When the shore power drops off, the battery is dead and cannot take up where the converter left off.

It seems to drop the amp to 7 on amp reader so it’s sounds like new battery time

From everything you've posted, especially the last, it does sound like you need a new battery. But you should probably also be using a heavier duty and/or shorter extension cord if you want to use your air conditioner. AC units use a lot of power and can be damaged if the voltage drops too low.
