Reading the voltmeter while switching on the A/C...
If voltage dips to 105
The show's over. Your calculation is belly-up. Time to retrofit.
Or make -real good- friends with your RV air conditioner seller.

I will also take the shrouds off of the AC and test the load and see what I get.

A standard electric dryer outlet is not a 50A outlet, but a 30A outlet. If you're meaning a 30A RV to 50A RV adapter, it will not fit in a dryer outlet.

IF you are going to make up a 100 ft, 10 gauge extension cord, then also get a 30 A to 50A adapter. That should plug into a "normal" dryer house circuit and use one 50 amp side.....which would be plenty to feed your 30 amp service.

You also need to know what else is running in the sticks and bricks house on that circuit you are plugging into.

You make SURE that the house is properly equipped BEFORE you get there......or resign yourself to NOT using the air conditioning.
There really is no middle ground.
When it comes to extension cords, the fewer connections the better.
I personally wouldn't do a 100' run at 30 amps with 12 gauge, especially not with multiple connections involved.
I am assuming that just using a regular household outlet will handle my air conditioner. I have a small 25 foot RV and read earlier that I would be okay to use a 10 gauge RV extension cord with a dog bone style adapter and plug into any outlet. Am I wrong in thinking this?!?
