Also what are the best hoses to get for the hookups?
Thanks

It will work, with an adapter, as long as you don't try to run the air conditioner or heat pump/strip. If you do, you may have a problem with tripping circuit breakers, or damaging the items due to low voltage.
As far as hoses, you can get the white fresh water hoses at any camping supply store. We have two, one 25' and one 50', depending on where the fresh water hookups are. If your coach did not come with a holding tank drain hose, also called a "slinky" you can get one of those from your camping supply store also. There are two types of valve and fitting for this, either Valterra or Thetford, and the two will not interchange. Basically, the Classic line, as well as the CCD, and some SE models use the Thetford, and the Safari line uses the Valterra.
Something else to pick up at your camping supply store would be a bag of leveling blocks. These are 12" square blocks, that are 1" high, and interlock like Lego blocks to raise one side of your coach up to level it side to side.The stabilizers are just that, and should not be used to level the coach.
