In my experience with the 70s Armstrong units is> the 20 amp circuit wasn't 
the issue but the gauge of the wire carrying it! Should be 12 or 10 gauge.
There's a lot of houses out there with 20 amp fuses and 14 gauge wiring. Not 
code now but was OK not long ago! By going 30 amp and 10 gauge...you'd be FINE 
for power!
ALOT of campgrounds don't have enough juice and many folks carry around 
meters to test and make sure they are getting 115 to 120 volts
anything less is hard on the older units! THE original owners manual even 
visits that issue!
Right now in my yard I have about 50' of 10gauge running to a 30 amp plug 
with a 20 amp breaker and my 78 Armstrong purzz like a kitten.
They all like to rattle and roll on start up! (I've had 3 of em) 79, 74, 78 
but they last!

that's ~MY 2 CENTS!
