regular extension cord to run some appliances

I need to run a vacuum, the fridge, and the fans while the RV is at home tomorrow. Basically, we're just having it home to prep before we go on our shakeout trip. The coach has a 50 amp plug and i have all the adapters to get it down to a 15 amp 2 prong plug.

Thing is, i just have a regular orange utility extension cord. Is it safe to plug the RV into our home using this cord or am I going to be pulling too much power? It seems like the fans, fridge and vacuum wouldn't pull that much power, but i could be wrong

Also be aware that if your batteries are not fully charged or even if they are, your battery charger in your Converter or Inverter will draw 15 -20 amps or more at times. That will pretty much suck up what your cord can handle. Turn off the converter/inverter if you can.
