50A breakout - 30A & 20A for 2nd A/C in 30 amp RV

In 2019 I added a second air conditioner to my 30A Class C. The A/C was added on a completely separate 110V-20A circuit from the RV. The idea was to plug the RV into the 30A and the A/C into the 20A...

That was a lot of money for being paranoid. Do you worry about plugging in a 3 amp TV set into a 20 amp home outlet? I hope not. You are essentially doing the same thing when plugging in a 13 amp air conditioner into a 50 amp plug. The current drawn is no more than the appliance needs. Your RV breaker is also in the line limiting the current to 20 amps. Don't over think AC power.
