15 amp is probably not enough for a 12000 BTU A/C especially if you are at any altitude. 9200 is about the max for 15 amps. The wiring can catch fire if you use an adapter and plug into 15 amp service. I remember a dealer using a 15 amp adapter on a unit with a 13.5 A/C and stuffing it in the power box. It caught the RV on fire. Some modern RV A/C's will shut down if they cannot draw enough current to run, before the breaker at the other end pops, even. I think that is your problem. As to the venting, You have to vent it somewhere. A/C's produce heat, which is how they cool. Surely it vents outside through the wall.
