Take the two cords you have in hand and measure the voltage. If it looks decent enough than purchase the remainder of needed cord. Measure voltage again. Unless you are using all available power( 100 amps) your going to be ok using #6 flexible cord for your needs. I'd just add to keep your eye on your in RV voltage while using the airs!
