Is converting to these services as simple as buying the adapters? or is there more to it?

(I'm new to the RV world...)
It depends on what you want to use in the RV. Before you can use either adapter safely, you or someone needs to calculate the total current that will be drawn by all the devices you wish to run simultaneously. Then that current must be compared to the capability of the circuit you are going to plug into. You must also check the current handling capability of any additional extension cords that might be involved.
