Your RV always uses 110/120 power, even at campgrounds. These links may help you understand it, and the function of your converter, which is your battery charger.

You really should read all four, as they all have different but pertinent information. The outlet testing part provided in link #3 below is something all RV'ers should understand the basics of, if they don't have an EMS.

Hope this helps.
