Have just bought a new Jayco Precept, our first rv. Can I use adapters to hookup to standard 15A electricity at my storage to my 50A rv cable and system to run my battery charger and fridge or is there another way to do this?

Yup - we have a 110 VAC 15A line run to our motor home so it can charge the batteries and run the refrigerator over the winter when it is parked. Check at Walmart or other local places to find the correct adapter to connect to your RV.
Do be mindful of the load on the 110 VAC line, as you don't want to overload it or the circuit breaker will pop. Our 110 VAC line is on a dedicated circuit breaker.
You'll find lots of friendly folks with a lot of experience to share on this site. Glad you found us!

Not only can you use an adapter to hook up to a 15/20 amp service so your batteries will be maintained ... each year I spend a month at my FIL's place in rural Minnesota hooked up only to a 15 amp service.
I have a 40DP so it's pretty power hungry but I switch the water heater and fridge to propane and we just make sure we don't use things like the microwave or AC and we get along just fine.
