Yes, that’s correct. Note that every 15 to 30 or 15 to 50-amp dogbone adapter is rated for 20 amps of current. Of course, there are more rugged versions in NEMA 5-15 receptacles, just as there are heavy-duty 50-amp receptacles rated for EV charging. But the light-duty 50-amp receptacles can burn up under continuous loads.
Actually, 105 volts is considered to be the low limit for campgrounds. That’s where all the EMS Surge Protectors cut off the power. I’m more comfortable with 110 volts, but campgrounds are typically overloaded which causes a lot of voltage sag.
If the 15 amp receptacle is safe to carry 20 amps, why do they make a different 20 amp receptacle? Just to ID the 20 amps?

Isn't 108 volts considered low voltage?

Not being electrically inclined, I really appreciate it when you explain things Barney simple.
