Melting extension cord

You make SURE that the house is properly equipped BEFORE you get there......or resign yourself to NOT using the air conditioning.
There really is no middle ground.
When it comes to extension cords, the fewer connections the better.
I personally wouldn't do a 100' run at 30 amps with 12 gauge, especially not with multiple connections involved.
I am assuming that just using a regular household outlet will handle my air conditioner. I have a small 25 foot RV and read earlier that I would be okay to use a 10 gauge RV extension cord with a dog bone style adapter and plug into any outlet. Am I wrong in thinking this?!?
