20A breaker inside RV for A/C Unit is tripping....correct?

With A/C Unit running what is AC Voltage inside RV?

Don't know.......get a meter and find out.

Low AC Voltage/Higher AMP draw.

Voltage good.....then what is amp draw on A/C Unit?
Weak 20A breaker?


We lived in our 5vr for 2 months along side of empty house while escrow closed.
Ran 15K A/C, converter and TV on 20A outlet from garage (OEM 25' 50A power cord, 50A to 30A adapter and a 30A to 20/15A adapter).
Never tripped any breakers or had hot connections (warm but not hot)
