I think he mainly is looking at getting the 120 shore power working.

Hi Byron,
The 120 is a lot like your house in how it works. The cord that comes out the side of the trailer has three prongs, and is 30 amp for RVs. Almost all campgrounds will have this plug to plug into.
If you want to plug it into your house and don't want to have a 30 amp plug wired in, you can buy an adapter to plug into a regular 15/20 amp household outlet. The only thing is, when you plug in with the adapter, you can't run air conditioning or really a microwave, as those will draw a lot of power on an already taxed circuit.
It's important to note that a lot of items in the trailer are only 12V DC. All the interior lights, the water pump, bathroom exhaust fan, kitchen exhaust fan, refrigerator ignition, etc. are all 12V. These items only run off the battery, and then the built in charger in the trailer will keep the battery charged when the 120 30 amp cord is plugged in, via something called a converter. The converter's charging output is enough to run a few lights without a battery, but it's not a good practice since it puts a lot of stress on the converter.
If things aren't working as described above with the trailer plugged in, unplug it and let us know here so we can try to diagnose it.
