The question wasn't disparaging but intended to get an idea what you were comfortable doing. As for faith I believe you had an angle on your shoulder on this one. You could have literally caused thousands of dollars in damage.
I'd suggest looking closely at those batteries and at a min pull them and have them load tested. I'd replace them both as it's suspect why one was not connected at time of sale. If you are going to dry camp a lot consider getting 2 6 volt batteries and connecting in series now that you know how. Sorry, couldn't help myself.
As for plugging in at home.... If the trailer is 50 Amp then wire a 50 Amp receptacle. That way you can use all the available air conditioners etc. If your going to go the 15 Amp route the fewer adapters the better and about all you can run inside is the converter and the fridge on electric, no air conditioners or water heater on electric.
I know it's easy to spend other's people's money (I should have gone into government work), but those two recommendations may save you money and headaches long term.
