Maybe a quickie diagram will help
This is a Trailer power panel being fed by 50AMPS. You can see the RED and BLACK cables each feeding a leg inside your trailer. Each leg has an air conditioner. This allows you to turn on both air conditioners/

This is what happens if you can only connect your trailer to a 30AMP Pedestal. Notice the power adapter has a built in jumper that connects the 30AMP service to the two trailer legs. You can turn on both air conditions in this mode but chances are your 30AMP source is not enough to run both air conditioners at the same time.
