I can barely run off a 15 amp breaker either. Temporarily hooked the 14 gauge wire to a spare 20amp breaker. The garage outlet im using is about 30 feet from the panel. From there its a 50' 10 gauge electrical cord. Need to install a 30 or 50 amp setup at some point if im going to be doing the shore power thing during the summer temps.
I have a similar issue. I have a 20A circuit fed by 12 gauge wire, but it's easily 50 feet from my panel. Then I have a 100-foot, 12-gauge extension cord from that outside outlet to the rig. I use it mainly to keep the batteries charged. A/C will run but it's not happy about it. Voltage drops to under 100 volts. When I do need to run the A/C I move the rig closer to the house and plug the RV's power cord right into the 20A outlet.
