Thank you, your response helps a lot. Now I feel like I have the whole picture. I also understand my particular situation better. I need to:
1. find out if the /circuit I'm using has anything else on it. My washing machine is inside the house and too far away from the RV to be useful.
This is important if a fan or washing machine robs volts/drops your volts below 108 or causing an overload and tripping the breaker.
2. check the power in the RV when I'm running the RV from the house outlet by plugging in a voltmeter. The reading should not drop below 108v.
Absolutely correct.
I checked my extension cord. It's 30amp, 125v, 3750watts. The label says it's for RV use. I think it's about 25ft long. Maybe a bit longer.
Thank you to everyone who has responded. I feel fully informed now.
