Second suggestion, take this experience as a learning experience. Do some reading on basic electricity and basic electrical wiring. I recommend purchasing books, they typically go deeper provide more information.

I will 2nd this. If you don't understand when someone says "110" you really need to do some studying. I went to US Navy Electronic Tech school 50 years ago but a lot of that fine education has been lost to memory. I try not to get over my skis and will quickly refer to my 2 subject matter experts...my son, who is an Instrument & Control Tech and my son in law who is an Electrical Engineer with his PE and is working on his Master's EE degree.
When I get confused, which is getting more often, I don't hesitate to ask for help.
That said, I will run 50ft of extension cord (12/3 size) to charge my RV batteries. I will also run 1 15,000BTU A/C off a 20amp outlet with about a 25ft extension. Only issue I have is using an exterior outlet that is GFI, sometimes it works, most times not.
