Should I leave my Travel trailer plugged in or not?

Finally got my parking pad built in my backyard and have the TT parked on it. I have a standard 20 amp outlet box near my TT. Should I use the converter and extension cord and just leave it plugged in...

Normally a 12 guage extension cord is all that is available readily .
That is a 20 amp cord.
10 guage is 30 amp , 14 guage is 15 amp .
In my garage I have a couple of 20 amp circuits .
I have not tripped the 20 amp breaker with the AC .
I use the same receptacle to run Christmas lights .
If your electric panel is in the garage you might be able to add an 20 amp additional breaker and place a 20 amp receptacle at the panel .
Or a 30 amp .
