15 amp service and ac
We have just purchased a new rig with 2 air conditioners. Camping next weekend with weather forecast to be hot! If everything else is on propane can we run one air conditioner?

Maybe, it'll be close. Keep your wires short and your connections clean, and check for plugs getting hot!! That a/c will be on 24 hours.
And, very important, check the voltage before, and when it's running. If you don't have a voltmeter, buy one. Anything lower than around 108 will be not good for the a/c.
Converters don't run on gas, if you get my drift.
That is about it. Be very aware of what else 120VAC is on. No fridge, no wqter heater, no microwave, nothing more than phone chargers on the outlets.
We have done it many times being very careful. It is that surge when the A/C compressor kicks in that really puts the load on.
