Question:

Can the PD4045KA distribution box be used with 15 or 20 amp shore power input? Is a 30 amp service required for it to operate?

Sure, the Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 45 Amp, # PD4045KA is one the best selling units and designed to be used with a typical/common 30 amp power pedestal however, your power cord can be adapted with something such as the Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter Plug for 30 Amp Female to 15 Amp Male, # A10-1530ARDVP. With this adapter you can use the cord and your mighty mini on commonly found 15/20 amp residential electrical receptacles. Many folks do this to allow them to power the RV when parked in driveway. You are limited to the 15/20 amp breaker that your garage outlet is on, so may not be able to run the air conditioner. However, you can definitely operate the # PD4045KA and charge your battery bank in preparation for a trip, power lights, the RV's water pump and some other small amp draw items.

Take a look at the short product review video below where AJ walks through the use of this adapter and what I described above.
