1998 HR Vacationer - 2 Power Cords?

I just purchased this unit used and noticed 2 power cords in the rear drivers side compartment. One is black & has the 50 amp end on it. The other is red & black and has the regular 3 prong end on it. I don't have any idea what the red & black one is for. Any help on this please?
Thanks, Bob

    No, it's hard wired into the inside of the compartment.
    The standard 3 prong plug is on the other end.

    So, with the 50 cord everything works? Pulling teeth here.

    Nothing 120v works while the red/black one is plugged in. The black one works for the 120v plugs & appliances.

    The red/black wire looks factory installed.

    What doesn't run when it is plugged in? Someone added it to run something, AC or heater or grow light maybe.
