I have a Caravan and it needs a 15 amp extension cord and I have one but it doesn't reach the power point so can I plug it into a normal 10 amp extention cord?

The rating of an electrical wire depends on the diameter. A small diameter wire wastes more power than a larger wire. That means reduced voltage at the other end and the wasted power heats the wire, possibly melting the insulation and causing other problems. Get the proper cord. It's cheaper than a fire.
