After reading this thread, I think the OP should have run a 50 amp extention cord to the 20a house circuit, then used the dogbone adapter for the final connection. Using a 15a extention cord over that distance is asking for problems.
And if the OP reads this, I am curious as to the resolution of the problem.
I am not using a 15a extension cord. I am using a 10 gage cord, which is what 30a RV cords are made from. I still have not found the exact problem, but it is most likely that the compressor motor is simply bad and gets too hot. It overheats even when fed with 113 volts measured under running load.
