Ours did a similar thing trying to put 75 Amps into the battery. The coach was parked "near" the well pump house and connected to the "15A" outlet there with a 100' 12ga extension cord.

I now wish that I had run 6 or even 4 gauge to the well but that is pretty $$$$$$$ since it is all direct bury cable.
