Can a 30amp A/C run on 20 amps?

One of my sons bought a travel trailer to use as 'seasonal' for him and his family. Dealer will deliver and set it up. One a/c unit.
Only NOW....does he tell me his site is 20 amp....with a "promise" by the campground to upgrade the electric (to his site and others) to 30amp by next spring.

Question: can his 30 amp a/c unit run on 20 amps without damage?
