A quick question on using shore power and air conditioning

To underscore NCeagle’s comment, almost always keep the setting #26 (auto ignition control) on “auto-on,” mostly to eliminate interior charging noise. I only turn this to off  setting when I truly want to fully charge the batteries. 

Currently mooch-docking with AC running. Works fine. Only times we’ve had problems is when plugging into a GFI circuit, in which case setting #26 to auto-on generally takes care of it. 

BTW, I think it’s a good idea to carry 20A and 30A circuit testers. If the tester shows no ground (or other issues), probably best not to plug in.

Yes the Xantrex should charge the batteries from 15A of shore power as long as there are "extra" amps around for the inverter to use. 

My Xantrex Freedom XC Pro 3000 watt inverter will charge my 390 Ah of Lithionics batteries from a 15A/120V receptacle, so long as no appliances are running at the same time.
