HOw long can i run my A/C with my house outlet? I have hed it on while cleaning it up but for some reason feel running it with that amprge *sp* will ruin it. Is this correct or is it ok to run it this way for long periods at a time. Thanks.

As long as you are not throwing the breaker I think you are fine. But you should do the math on how much juice you are pulling into the rig and how much you need.

As long as you have 110V at your trailer outlets, you shouldn't have a problem.

It's easy enough to check. Just take a multi-meter and check the voltage in any empty outlet in the trailer while the AC is running.

OK thanks... Mt a/c unit on the pup has its own cord tha runs through an opening in the canvas when in use and winds up on the inside (ceiling) when not in use. (1987 coleman) 110 outlets run on seperate plug.
