Your house would have to have a specicfic line to handle either the 30amp or 50amp service needed to run a A/C.
I have heard, some think the DRYER outlet looks like a RV style outlet and plugging into that will FRY your RV electronics because totatlly different.
Normal house plugs/outlets of a house are not strong enough(amperage i think) to run the AC, I keep my plugged in at home, just to run lights and fridge when getting ready to travel.
Sure some electricians will speak up on if you tried to run AC on a "Normal" line, (I am guessing will through the breaker that line is on in the house). Not sure if it could damage AC compressor.

Dryer outlets are 230V - lots of RV's damaged by this!
My advice is to monitor the voltage and if it drops too low, turn the AC off.
