50 AMP and plugging in at home
Although new to this, I strongly suspect that a coach that has 50 AMP service may not be able to run A/C in the Texas heat on an standard outdoor extension cord plugged into an exterior house outlet. ...

Ok the rules per Reddy Kilowatt
On a standard 15 amp house circuit you MAY be able to run ONE A/C. but nothing else.. on a 20 The A/C and converter if batteries are not hungry but again not much.
Keep the non-50 amp cords SHORT (Like one or two dogbones short)
on 30 amps one A/C and most other stuff but be careful A/C Water heater And microwave all at once and CLICK darkness ensues (Breaker trips)
My recommendation is have an electrician install a Dedicated 50 amp RV feed.
All the RV can eat...electrically
Final note.. I know the TT-30 (30 amp) Outlet looks a lot like a 240 volt Big, Black, Large blades. MANY Electricians hired to install one will think that too.
And blow all your electronics
It is 120 volt. Says so right on the outlet.
