How many amps is your AC breaker in your TT?

So I posted my experience with SoftStart install here: https://www.forestriverforums.com/forums/f68/my-failed-successful-install-of-softstart-on-surveyor-19bhle-235199.html

The issue right now is that the 20amp breaker in my TT keeps tripping when plugged into my house (standard 110v outlet, 20amp breaker in the house). SoftStart tech support seems to think the 20amp breaker in my TT is wrong for the AC.

Checking with members here to see what amperage is your breaker for your AC? Mine is a 15K Coleman Mach. If Forest River installed the wrong breaker I'll be pretty upset.

The AC ran fine with a 30amp shore line at the dealership for hours.

What size extension cord are you using. If it is too light , you are getting voltage drop. As voltage drops amps increase.

The standard size breaker for the A/C in an RV is 20 amp. Every one I've ever seen for an RV rooftop A/C has been 20 amps.

I'd check the extension cord size and length as Trksr said.
You might also want to check the voltage at the house and at the RV when plugged in.
