I confirmed while the electrician was here that it's a 120V circuit - saw him put his meter on it when he was finished to confirm.
The coach is new to me, so I'm still learning about how everything is setup, but from what I see, the shore power cord is plugged into a 50 Amp receptacle in the storage compartment. To hook up to the generator, I'm in that plug; To go to shore power, I pull that plug and hook it up to the new outlet.
Note: The sticker inside of my electrical area says that the coach can run on 30 Amp or 50 Amp, 120V or 240V.
I did some final confirmation this morning in multiple combinations, just to be sure. Shore power to adapter; Shore power to power surge to adapter; shore power to extension to power surge to adapter; Basically tried all combinations and the only one that will not work correctly is when I use the extension cord.
I put a multimeter on it to check for shorts, but none are present. The cable is pretty old so I'm going to order a new one just in case.
In the end, I'm currently hooked up shore power cord to surge protector, and then to a dongle (50 A to 30 A) and everything is humming along nicely.
