    Is it just a 15 amp breaker that trips? Might have better luck plugging into a 20 or 30 amp outlet. Is anything else turned on that you dont need? Water heater or fridge? Try running them on propane.

I had the same head scratching moment at home with mine and it usually runs fine but started tripping the breaker. Turns out I left the water heater on. You may also want to check if anything else is on in your house on that circuit. If it's a 15A, it will need all of it just to run the AC. Anything else in your Rv or the house on that circuit that is on, will trip it if the AC is on at the same time.
