I would upgrade that extension cord to a 12ga.. Most "Contractor" cords are 14 or 16. When I had a house the RV had a 20 amp feed. I could run ONE of the following with no problems

Recommendation: IF you decide to have an electrician put in a proper RV circuit, make it 50 amps.. Less chance he will screw that up.
