Newbie question about plugging in at the house

We are in the research mode to purchase our truck camper. But I have a question and hope some of you seasoned tc campers can give me info? With the correct adapters, how much can you run when you are hooked up to a house with 20 amp service. I am looking for how many items can you use? AC, micro, stuff like that? We are hoping on camping in family and friends driveways and yards and I just want to know what to expect. Thanks

    My AC draws less than 7 amps when running, so only starting up require turning other stuff off.
    Once AC is on, I can run microwave even on 15 amp circuit.

    Thanks everyone for your replies. I love this forum where I know I can come with my "dump" questions, that you have probably heard over and over again, and get some good info. Have a good one! Laurie in Fl.

    Some older houses may have 15 amp fuses instead of 20 amp breakers.
