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

  • 20a should run any single large item or all the small stuff.
    Large is A/C, Micro, electric water heater, hair dryer, Keurig etc.

    Worse case the breaker will trip and you reduce the load.
  • If you are plugged into a 20 amp, 110v service. You can use everything but the a/c. You would also want to watch how much you had on at any given time, but it should run fine.
