5 Air Conditioners?
On some of the big bus-based Class A's going down the road, I see what looks like 5 A/C units on top. Are they all A/C's?

So what kind of service is required at a CG? No way 50a can handle that draw.
i did some testing just today after I installed a onan autostart EC-30w....I was exercising our Onan QD10KW generator & loading it as much as i could....watching my panel meters.
w/ BOTH my ac's on, with the fans on HI, the microwave running AND a k-kups coffee maker i was barely able to load my system w/ 50 amps TOTAL (and that was 30A on one leg & 20A on the other).
Ive drained my water heater so i couldn't add that to the mix or i would have turn the electric elements on also.
According to Onan's spec's the QD10 Will operate with three 15000 Btu air conditioners and an additional load of up to 4000 W
Onan's 18kw is rated at 150A - enough to operate with four 15000 Btu AC's with 4500 W to spare.
Don't forget when we say 50 amp coach we are talking 2 X 50 amp circuits for a total of 100 amps.
