Thanks for the clarification. So that type of refer cannot be used for boon docking unless the battery charge is maintained at 90% SOC or greater. Ditto for starting after storage. Correct?
I would thing that that refer and any RV mfg that used it would have a very short existence except for some very special circumstances.
To me the essence of an absorption refer in a RV is that they use very little battery power and work on propane and discharged batteries within reason. And certainly 50% SOC and 12.1V for a flooded battery is reasonable.
Please post the refer make and model so that it can be avoided.

Is your battery good and charged? My fridge wonโt work if the battery isnโt over 90% to start even when plugged into shore power. If I bring the tt home from storage the fridge wonโt turn on until I charge the battery first.
90% of fully charged? ie 90% SOC - State Of Charge
Is the battery dead or nearly so when you bring it home?
An absorption refer should have no problem starting with 50% SOC (12.1V) and even less. A fully charged battery is 12.7V.
Your posts may suggest you have issues that aren't related to this thread as best I can tell. If so perhaps start another thread.

Need clarification on what you are doing. Hopefully you have a 30A 120V RV and are using a standard 30A female to 20A male adapter plugged into a 120V household plug. If so then the adapter could be bad or no power at the plug and/or the plug is on a GFCI circuit that has tripped or the extension cord is bad. Or you are drawing over 20A and tripping the house CB.
If you are actually plugged into 240V then it tends to let the smoke out.If you are actually plugged into 240V then it tends to let the smoke out.
