Coach is stored at my business (warehouse) and plugged in 7/24 to a 20 amp receptacle. I would like to pre-cool before hitting the road for a day or two. I can reach 2 different (not on same circuit) ...

You can run smaller ACs on a 20A circuit but larger ones will have to much surge current.
Also is this a dedicated 20A plug? Most 20A circuits have multiple 15A plugs which means the plugs themselves are rated for a MAXIMUM of 15A and if there are other loads on the circuit then you have less than 15A for the RV.
Are you really not going to run anything else other than the AC? Like parasitic loads, the battery charger, some lights, and the refer even on propane.
One can assume from your post that you can't run the AC on the single circuit. Correct? If so the cheater cord won't help.
Also you didn't state that your RV is 50A. It's easy to make that assumption and the cheater cord is designed for a 50A RV. Is it 30A or 50A?
Since it's your business why don't you install a 50A plug? You'll then be set for the current and any future RV and you can run anything and everything in the RV.
