Your RV comes with a power cord that supplies electricity to your air conditioner, microwave etc. The power cord likely has a 30 amp male connector and many/most campgrounds will have a matching power supply - but purchasing a "pigtail" which converts the 30 amp male connector into a 15/20 amp std connector is a must. If you need an extension cord get the fattest one available - makes a big difference if your running an air conditioner.
Your air conditioner takes about 20 amps - but will run off a 15 amp outlet with a number of proviso's (no other appliances on that circuit, your rig isn't using other electrical stuff (elect hot water, microwave, elec fridge, battery charging etc). You should also monitor the voltage while the Air Conditioner is running and turn it off if you see voltage drop below 109/110.

If you buy a Generator your neighbors will appreciate your buying a quiet one - and yeah - they cost more.
