AC Operation on 20amp shore power

[Driftwood26]

Can I run 1 AC unit on 20amp shore power if all other electrical items are off? Momentum Toy Hauler
Thanks from a new owner

Yes…if nothing else in the RV is on and nothing else significant is using the circuit in the house.

I have successfully ran ours on 15 amp with the fan set to low and not auto. If something else comes on you will trip the breaker.

Driftwood26 I agree with Brian I have run mine on 15 amp before with no issue, 20 should be fine. The key things to watch are other loads (which you mentioned) and the size and length of your shore cord. This is not the place where you want to use your 20 year old extension cord you use for the Christmas lights lol. Ideally no extension cord at all, or if you need one the bigger (12 AWG minimum) the better. Ideally your "dog bone" adapter would be at the outlet and you would go directly to the shore cord, or a 50 or 30 amp extension cord.

I ran our bumper pull unit on a 10 gauge extension chord. Not for long and the AC was the only thing being used. Not even the converter was working hard.

Watch that converter because it can pull more power than you anticipate.
