Ok to run 5500 Onan on 20 amp curcuit?
Does anyone run their 5500 Onan on a 20 amp plug? The Onan manual I have states the running amps well under 20 but I dont know what the start-up amps would be, if its even different.

My prior 15k AC drew 15.5A - a very heavy load for a 20A circuit. I'd guess that you'll want a very short heavy extension cord and a 20A plug on a dedicated 20A CB. Note this is NOT the typical multidrop 20A household circuit with 15A plugs.
But you could try it and check the voltage at the AC which should be 108V or higher.
