If you are plugged into your house (15A circuit??), you usually will not be able to run your A/C in your RV. Don't forget that the A/C is not the only item drawing current in your RV. The converter requires several amps as well as any hard wired sensors. If you have your HW heater on 110VAC, that will take up a large chunk as well if you have it turned ON.
What you are experiencing is "normal" and not cause for alarm.
If you want to operate your A/C, you'll need a 30A circuit.
