Safe to run 20A through a 15A adapter?
Can a 20A load be safely run through a 15A adapter? I want to be able to run our A/C off my 120V x 20A 3000W generator without a meltdown, and I know a 15A plug will physically fit in the socket, but ...

It's already a sunk cost so whether or not it lasts would be water under the bridge. I'm not thinking I'll go many nights anyway, just here and there.
I also have access to a Briggs and Stratton 5000W I could use at any time, but if I recall it has 110V and 220V outlets and no 30A RV outlets, so I'm back to my original question of how to run 20A of load through a 15A adapter. (That was resolved by the way; I found a rubber adapter and mentioned that previously.)
As for the outlet rating, the manual says it's 20A.
