Running 1 ac unit on 20 amp shore power,
I have a dedicated 20 amp circuit next to where I park my MH when loading and unloading for trips. If only some 12 volt lights, but no frig or water heater on electric were running in the mh, could I...

Best to check your voltage when plugged into whatever configuration you have and go from there...
If you plug in and then turn on the AC get a volt meter and plug into any other 120v outlet in the rig and read it's voltage output..
If it's much below 108v, then you might need to consider some other power source, but for a short time, and if it does not trip the 20a breaker then you are probably "ok"...
No way to say for sure one way or the other, but you can also feel the cords and if they are really warm to the touch, then maybe you are drawing too much...
Good luck!

This answer gets my vote as the best. I check the voltage inside the rig, and it works out ok for me.
