Household outlets and the associated plugs are only rated for 15 amps. Your AC will draw close to that by itself. Throw in the 12 v converter, and any other amperage draw and you probably exceed that. Now consider the loses in the extension cord, and you will see that you are trying to get more power than the lines can accomodate.
