I have a 15K BTU A/C Unit and have run it off a 15A outlet many times
You need to check what else is on your 15A house breaker and turn those items off so the 15A outlet is only feeding your RV
Turn fridge and water heater AC breakers off in RV main AC Panel (so that have propane only)
And let converter fully charge battery ---go into float mode before trying to turn RV A/C Unit on.
Might need to turn A/C Fan on first---place it in High Speed before lowering T-stat set point where A/C Compressor will start
Unless you upgraded the A/C the standard/stock unit is a 13.5Kbtu so 15A should run it.
Just need to isolate/limit what else is on
