I use a 100' well now a 85' cord after the dog took 15' off of it. I run the AC, and fridge every spring to make sure it works for summer. don't run it long, Just long enough for the air to get cold, and I don't turn on anything else in the TT when the Ac is on.
It is the same cord I use to run the saws, drills, sanders, and lights in my work shop.
ask a "expert electrician" about doing it. He told me. If there isn't enough current to run it. It will simply trip the house breaker when the AC askes for more than it has to give. However. the cheap Walmart adapter does get hot, but the heavy duty Rv adapter does not.
Unless you list the gauge of the cord your post is just a nice story. Hopefully the dog survived.
Honestly don't know the gage. the cord is over 40 years old. Can't remember that far back. But it is pretty heavy, but still flexible. yeah the dog wasn't hurt. it was unplugged when she chewed it off.
