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

Don't know what you have here, but most likely you have an EMS that will shed the extra amps and the a/c compressors are usually first in line. One is usually not aware if both compressors are running at the same time or not, so.... If you're running, now, without tripping any main breakers, then all must be OK. We do it all the time at home, but then we're not heating water, microwaving and making toast either. Still the EMS would take care of it, no matter and just like in our old 30amp coach, one doesn't need ac while taking a few to make a pot of coffee or other and all power will be restored automatically once the load drops below 30amps.
