Since both fans (approx. 20A current draw each) come on when you switch the
A/C on the voltage will certainly drop below 13V.
My meter is usually between the 8V and 13V marker at idle with the A/C on.
So I'd say this is pretty normal ;-)
You can minimize the instant voltage drop when the A/C is switched on
by using the famous "FanZilla" module from PJ Grady. It turnes the fans on
sequentially.
