50 amp MH, plugged into 30 amp, ok to run 2 ac units??

Something new for me. My motorhome has 50 amp service, however I'm currently plugged into a 30 amp outlet. Both my air conditioners are running. Is this ok to run both on 30 amps? Thank You Bria...

The problem with that IS......that what "should" happen often is not what DOES happen.

A marginal connection/splice anywhere along the line can cause heat and fire before the breaker trips.

It is NOT a good thing to do. The fact that you might get away with doing it does not change that.
