Keep in mind the overall rating of your board, and what else you might be powering at the same time. Some older properties in the US may only have a 50A
total capacity, so running your RV's AC, your house AC and your dishwasher could pop the main breaker and plunge your whole house into darkness. Most homes will have a 100A capacity, or more, but you might get unlucky if you have an older property.
You can check easily enough, the rating should be displayed on the panel, close to the main breaker, or on the breaker itself.
