You are now on limited Shore Power.
You will be limited to amps that are feed into that receptacle
from the house circuit breaker. Most likely 15 amps.
I keep mine hooked up the same way.
The Converter keeps the house batteries charged and I added
a small battery maintainer that I plug into the coach that
goes into the dash power port and it keeps the chassis battery
topped off.
You will have limited use of items in the RV. Such as as the heater fan, TV, refrigerator. Heavy amp items like the A/C, or combinations of several may/may not work as the house breaker will trip.
Many RV have monitors, etc that run off the chassis battery.
After several weeks it is not unusual to find the chassis battery
discharged to were it will not start. That is why I have the small
battery maintainer inside.
I starred this almost 2 years ago,
with no problems.
