Ok to run 5500 Onan on 20 amp curcuit?
Does anyone run their 5500 Onan on a 20 amp plug? The Onan manual I have states the running amps well under 20 but I dont know what the start-up amps would be, if its even different.

Thanks again everyone. I used to have an older TT which would easily run the A/C on a regular household outlet on a 20 amp circuit. With a pretty long extension cord too. Of course I wouldn't run anything else at the same time either, but not knowing if this "newer" A/C unit is different whereby possibly pulling more amps than that older A/C unit is what I dont know.
The start up amps was also what I was unsure of too. I bought a high capacity CAP to help reduce the start up draw but only to find out from other members that it was a wasted effort to replace the one on my current unit (viewing pictures) and it would make zero difference. Long story short.....I just want to by able to run my trailers A/C now and again and not have to wait until I get the time to run a larger amp circuit out there where its parked.
