You MIGHT get away with it, as long as you're using a very heavy cord (or plugging directly into the 20 amp outlet - 30 amp to 20 amp adapters are available on Amazon for a couple bucks). But I'd avoid it if at all possible. Are you planning to run it a long time? If you have a generator, running the A/C is good exercise for it.
