I use a 50ft, 10 gage cord from the house to the 50 amp cord on the motorhome. If I shorten the 10 gage cord, is there a chance that my household power will be enough to power the air conditioner?
This is more than likely the problem. There's too much voltage drop using that cord. Shortening it may help. Be sure your converter is off.
Were I you I'd be using a genuine 50a extension cord.
I should have been more clear. The breaker that trips is the 20 amp breaker in the RV, not the breaker in my house.
Can you elaborate on why the converter needs to be turned off? I'm not really sure what you mean or why it's important.
