Rv A.C.

[coy-ote]

If I want to run the A.C. in my travel trailer will it run with the 110 adapter?

Yes

The lower amperage of the 110 plug is the issue. It will likely cycle on but you'll here it really struggle on start up. It is harder on your AC unit than anything else. Likely after a few cycles the breaker will pop. Unless, you have a higher amperage 110 outlet supply that you are using.

Will it damage it trying to start up?

I run my entire RV with a 15k btu, normal is 13.5k btu on a 25 amp circuit all the time but have had no problems with a 20 amp circuit. It will depend what else is one the circuit that runs at the same time. You can also get a start kit to help it with the startup, basically a bigger capacitor. If your outlet is on a 15 amp breaker you may have some problems.

It shouldn't damage anything to try it, the compressor just won't start. Just don't do it repeatedly.

Yes it will. All day long. You will have to be aware of running any other major appliances while it is running though.

Use a thick cord. I learned that while teating mine in front yard. Cord got reallllly hot.

Dont run the ac and microwave at the same time either

[careybirdwell]

Ac pulls about 15 amps, so if you outlet is on a 15 breaker, you might have trouble. Make sure you dont use an extension cord

So the trailer cord to the dog bone and into the wall then?

I just installed a second ac in my camper. Runs directly off a 11 ac plug I mounted on the exterior of my camper. It’s a 13500 btu unit. Look for rebuilt ones on eBay! I got a Colman Mach 3 rebuilt like new for 450$

Ran Rolex through ceiling and down closet today hidden to my front storage compartment. Put a pass through boat style plug on the outside wall and I plug in with a heavy duty power cord to shore power.

There’s lots of videos how to do this on YouTube.

Yep if you are trying to plug this in at your house it’s likely going to be a 15amp outlet. If you can get it close to the garage you may have a 20 amp outlet in there depending on the age of your house.

Does your camper have a 30A connection or 50A?

I'm curious to what they rebuilt?
