The electric company gave me some flak for not calling before breaking the seal, but living in a small town has its advantages. I don't recommend doing that however.
Before that, I used an extra heavy duty 75' outdoor extension cord to run from a 20A outlet in an out building and used a dog bone adapter to connect to the RV. Since our bedroom isn't air conditioned, we slept in the RV during heat waves. I checked the cords after hours of running the AC and they were barely warm.

I will venture a guess that there are MULTIPLE code violations with that install.
