Montana high country question

I just picked up. Montana lastnight. I'm trying to figure out how things work. I plugged into my house. I know I can't run ac or microwave off that. I'm having hard time figuring out how to get tvs to turn on? Will these not work unless plugged into 50amp service? Any help would be appreciated!

All electric should work with 15 amp service except A/C, as far as I know. I guess you need to check breakers???

Have you tried turning them on manually at the set rather than with the remotes? Unlikely, but check all your resets, should have two or three, and wiring paths do not always make sense with these rigs.

I got them on! A breaker was tripped. Thanks for all your suggestions! I'm sure I will have a bunch of other questions!

you can usually do AC on a 20 amp circuit, 15 is pushing it. Those AC need like 13.5 to crank up,
