Has anyone ever heard of a single a/c unit not being able to start and run on a 20amp shore power circuit? We bought a new coach and the dealer says don't run a/c unless connected to a 30 amp servic...

EFY obviously you have never overloaded your circuits by watching what your running and using good equipment and that's what one should.
What dougs saying and its very true A lot of people use those crappy reducers, wrong size cords, poor voltage supplys and try and run AC and other stuff off 15-20 amp cicuits causing low voltage when u get low voltage you get over heated power cords and melted ends and wires and thats a fact
Like I said obviously you don't do this then no you will never see such problems
Correct. I tried to say that in my response. I use properly sized cords and connectors and limit my draw to only the AC. (If I use the vacuum at the same time it will trip the house breaker as an example) And I use a circuit that has nothing else on it. I am aware of the dangers - 2 of my best friends and my BIL are electricians (I always run this stuff by them) , but I also know that it's not all doom and gloom and can be done.
