What you can do depends upon the capacity of the circuit you are plugging into. If its just a standard 15 amp circuit, you can run things that you plug into your 110 outlets such as chargers, TV, etc. You probably could also run a microwave or space heater, but not both at the same time. Unlikely you could run AC.

If you have a 20 amp receptacle to plug into, then you probably can run your air conditioner plus some low wattage appliances such a TV, chargers, etc. Probably not air conditioner and microwave at the same time. Some homes will have a 20 amp receptacle in a garage that is intended for a refrigerator. A 20 amp receptacle has a "tee" plug on one prong's receptacle. See that attached picture.

You will need a 30amp to 15 amp dog bone adapter. Unless you are very close (most RV 30 amp cables are 25 ft) you will need some additional heavy duty extension cord, especially if you are running AC. At home we plug into a garage 20 amp circuit - we used to use 50ft of 30 amp cable and 50 ft of a heavy duty extension cord, but the extension cord would get a little warm when running the AC. So I found another 50 ft of 30 amp extension cord on Amazon. We are probably pushing it at 100 feet, but the cable doesn't seem to get warm.
