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...

To address a couple things

The "30 amps is only rated for 24, (I thought it wazs 27) amps continous applies to the circuit breaker.. But though the plug is rated for 30 full time.. Darn few can survive that.

Second: To answer the O/P's question

The only danger in running both A/Cs at the same time is the click of darkness.

That is. Tripping the circuit breaker.. If it does not trip.. you are good to go

DO, however, monitor voltage and check the plug for signs of melting.
