Running an RV air conditioner on a 20 amp circuit is generally not recommended, as most RV air conditioners require more power, typically around 13 to 16 amps, leaving little room for other devices. Additionally, starting the air conditioner often requires a surge of power that can exceed 20 amps, potentially tripping the circuit breaker. It's best to use a dedicated 30 or 50 amp circuit to ensure safe and efficient operation.
