Yes to all of the above. You will not be able to run your Air C or possibly a microwave.

To put it another way, it's like using a single outlet at home, but for the whole coach. Of course you need an adapter to actually get plugged in.BCBowtech said:

With PC electronics being what they are... Not going to say YES.. but I've used ours in our 50 amp rig, adapted from a 15 amp supply... using 50 foot, 12 gauge extension cord.

Most any single thing will work, though the air conditioner is very likely to trip the breaker when starting up. Note the the breaker that trips is the one serving the 15A outlet, not the ones in the RV.
Also be aware that the 15A outlet is probably not alone on the circuit that feeds it. There are usually other outlets sharing the available power, so you may not have the full 15A available to power the RV.

It's more of a math exercise than an electricity problem. Determine what the current draw is for your electrical devices, either via the owners manuals or one of the many charts available on line to get a ballpark number, and know that you can draw up to 15 amps total before tripping a breaker.
