If you don't use the units shore power cord but plug in an extension cord from a 115V source to any RV electrical outlet, will it power the unit and maybe charge the batteries through the charger/ inverter?

You will be limited to the amp rating of the circuit or less, which means charger/converter YES, microwave and AC NO

Are you talking about back feeding? With a 50A RV, there are 2 separate legs like in a house so it may or may not provide power to the charger. With a 30A RV, it would.

But in either case, why would you? You would have to use a "suicide cord" and that would be quite dangerous,

Unless I'm missing something...

It will charge the batteries. You will be limited to 15 amps (maybe 20). Not enough for AC, but enough for refrain and furnace.

"refrain" should be "refrigerator"
