1999 HR 30amp With 2 ACs

I recently bought a 1999 HR Endeavor. Seems like a real solid MH and I'm very pleased with it. I'm trying to work out a few bugs though and need a little help.

These came 30 amp with 2 ACs. It has a plug on one AC so you can plug it in separately while on shore power to run both. But when using the generator (5500 Onan MG) I'm only able to run one.
How can I rig this to where both will be hooked up? I've read it's capable when on separate breakers and the Onan has a 20 amp and a 30 amp breaker, but I'm not sure the best way to do this.

Thanks in advance for any help, I'm new to all of this.

    Is there a selector switch that lets you choose which A/C runs on the 30 amp service? If so, there's usually one position that will allow both to run when the generator is running. On our previous 30 amp Coachmen, the switch had to be in the rear A/C position to run both, but I've seen others that have it the other way around, so try both if you have the switch. Our switch was mounted down near the floor next to the converter/breaker panel.

    I will have to check, but possibly. If not I can access one inside. Can I just plug it into the coach outlet as long as it is on the opposite breaker as the other ac?
