On another Forum it was determined that the startup current of a Dometic 15K A/C is 13.6 amps with a 2.8 amps run current. That would imply that you can run the 15K A/C off the 20 amp circuit; but don't push it with other `stuff' on the same circuit.
The OP said nothing about the rated capacity of the source he's using, only that it's "a 110 outlet" which of course isn't the case at all as the nominal unloaded source voltage all across N America these days is considered to be +/- 120 vac. If the circuit in question is rated for 20 amp service protected by a 20 amp breaker then of course his chances of successfully starting and running a 15K A/C will be improved over attempting to run it on a 15 amp protected circuit ... but he hasn't provided this information. :R
