Running Your Travel Trailer AC Unit on house outlet?

Where are you that you need ac this time of year??? And the overwhelming majority of 30a plugs will not fit into a 20a receptacle.

South Louisiana. Don't need it now but will when summer comes around.

I have a dog bone adapter. Allows you to plug it in to a regular outlet.

You’ll be fine running it off a 20amp for the scenarios you’ve described. Just don’t try to run the water heater (on electric) or any other appliances for that matter along with the AC.

Not sure where your camper is parked in relation to your main panel, but a 30amp is fairly easy to run if you wanted to go that route.

I run my camper AC for about 30 minutes twice a month when not in camper in a park.

Will you be running AC full time when it warms up again? If so, change your receptacle out to a 20A and you're good.

13000BTU in my camper runs just fine on on 15 or 20 amp outlet. I put a Kill-a-watt on my outlet to see what I was drawing and the camper with just the AC running pulled at max about 1300 watts.

Safe continuous usage you should be good for about 80% of an outlet's rated capacity. 15 amp = 1800 Watts. 80% of that is about 1440 Watts.

It depends on how long a run it is from the breaker in the house to the unit. Most likely you will be fine but if you have a 50 foot 14 gauge drop cord its most likely not going to cycle due to voltage drop and will probably kick a 20 amp breaker. If its say 30 feet from the panel to the outlet and 30 feet from there to the unit without any kind of drop cord other than the camper cord it will be fine except in the hottest part of summer...heat will also add to voltage drop and increased current. I run ours on a 20 amp cicruit at the house for days on end in the summer and it never trips but the outlet is about 20 feet from the panel in the garage, the cord on the RV is about 15 feet to the panel in the RV and the AC is about 20 feet from the breaker in the RV. That's about 55-60 feet total. I have a 10/3 drop cord 50 feet long and if I add that in the circuit it will kick the breaker. Ours is in direct sunlight in the summer in the driveway and it will only cool it down to about 74-76 degrees if it is 95 outside, about 20 degrees is about as good as it gets....woefully underinsulated. Thats one 13,000 BTU unit in a 36 foot motorhome. It has 2 units and I can unplug the one at the rear and plug it into the drop cord and a 20 amp outlet on a separate circuit and they will both run but the 2 of them only drop the temp down to around 72 when its 95 degrees outside. Too much roof surface, not nearly enough insulation. Under shade and 95 outside the 2 of them running will drop the temp to about 66-68 degrees.
