I have removed ALL the house wiring as well as the Onan. No generator is proposed, Consequently there is no air conditioning, stove or any heavy electrical house load. When plugged in to "shore" power the only loads possible will be a 700 watt microwave, the 1000 watt water heater and charging for the house battery.

Base battery charging will be from the photovoltaics on the roof.

There will be a 110 volt outlet for miscellaneous items but no large load. These can be controlled so as to not all be on at once. The 110 volt breaker box is rated at 30 amps with 2, 15 amp circuits. Consequently a 30 amp supply will be adequate.
When the coach is parked at home the circuit from the garage will max out at 15 amps so no great loads will be possible.

So here's my question. What type of 'male' connection can I use when using a standard 15 amp extension cord as a shore power connection?
