a 20amp residential outlet is perfectly fine, can even run your ac unit if you need to...

most home outlets are only 15a, though, but all you really need is something to keep your charger for your batteries, and maybe to keep the fridge on, or have the option to run it a day or two before a trip. simple. don't overbuild for just storage, especially since you already have what you probably need already there.

remember that your coach does not 'demand' 50amp, or 100amps, or electricity. It's only what you want to turn 'on' that does. A fridge might be 5amps, the charger might be 5 or 10 depending on the status of your batteries, especially when it first starts charging, but then is really only a trickle charge.

we had our 50a rig parked next to our house for 8 months during 2016/17 and the 20amp outlet allowed us to do almost anything we wanted, especially when the folks came and we decided to stay out in the 'rv house' for several nights. Tv, satellite receiver, fans, fridge, etc.
