You will hear all kinds of answers from the armchair electricians. The truth is yes you can do it. And yes you can damage your A/C. Let me explain.
You need enough electricity supplied to the A/C- that will mean usually between 110 to 130 volts. Optimum will be 120 volts. You will then need enough amps to actually run the A/C. Plugging the RV into your house outlet will give you the correct volts. Plug the RV cord directly into a 20 amp circuit from your house with very little, and preferably nothing else electrical running and you will have enough amps for your A/C. If you have to use an extension cord, 12 gauge, but preferably 10 gauge no longer than 25 feet will work.
