First question; if I upgrade to the 15k AC will I =need= 50 amp or is that just "belt and suspenders" for a single AC. Second question; if I have the 15k AC and get the 50 amp service, can I use a 30 amp cord until such time as I add a 2nd AC and would be required to use the heavier cord? Third question; would I simply just be better off using 50 amp from the get-go, even with only 1 AC?

IF you have any thoughts of ADDING the second AC.. you must go with 50 amp if you want to run them together.. My thoughts are that its kind of senseless to have 2 AC's and not be able to run them together.
When I run my FW off my 2 generators (in parallel) , I use the smaller 30 amp cord..
Understood about 50 amp for 2 ACs. My concern was, like you, being able to use a 30 amp cord when I don't need it, and it it would handle the whole coach with a single 15k AC =and= the MW, coffee pot, water heater, etc. Lighting would be LED throughout, so minimal load, there.
