Attempting to operating the 15,000 Btu Advent Air RV Air Conditioner, # ACM150B on a 15 amp outlet is not advisable. The unit will draw about 15 amps while operating and likely draw greater than that for start up it would also prevent any other items from being operated on the same circuit, even if it did not trip the breaker during start up. It is always advisable to connect the RV's AC unit directly to the distribution panel on its own breaker.
