Have never done this before. I'm hooking up were there's only 110 service available. What do I do?? Will that keep the batteries charged, assuming I only run the TV etc. No Air Conditioners, I know. Would I plug into the 110 and then turn the invertor on and run off that or ?? Thanks

Even though the 50 & 30 amp RV plugs look like 220V plugs, they are actually 110V.

If you have a 30 Amp cord/RV you can buy a 30A to 15A adapter just about anywhere. They're less than $10 and Wally World almost always has them in stock in the stores. 15A to 30A adapter

If you have a 50A RV/cord, you can buy one of these which I have done. 50A cord adapter. It does a great job for keeping the batteries charged, running the frig, providing 110V to RV outlets, and running one A/C unit. (I have 20A circuits in my garage.) They're a little pricey, but very few people make them and even fewer stock them.

Actually I have built almost one of every type of adapter over the last couple of years just to make sure I have whatever I will need.

Actually a 50 amp RV plug is bringing in 220 volts to the main breaker in your RV. On some RV's, 220 volts is used on the drier. At your main panel in your RV, the 220 power is split in to the 120 volt circuits for the use in your coach.
