Sorry, but this statement is not entirely correct.
I have a 2001 Fleetwood Flair with a built in power management system (OEM) that will shed power as needed to run everything in the coach on a 30 amp service.
I run both A/C’s all the time.
I realize that I have taken this quote somewhat out of context, but I just don’t won’t the world to think, “Oh my god, We only have 30 amps, what are we going to do”.
Learn and understand your rig and all of the components within. It may just help you out some day.
If you want to split hairs. MOST 30 amp RV's with a EMS system (Fleetwood was one OEM), that used special LOW AMP(RVP) AC units that usually used about 10 to 11 amps each to utilize service on 30 amps. MOST 30 amp Motorhomes and even 30 amp motorhomes with a EMS shed system CANNOT run BOTH AC's in the heat of the day and have other 120 appliances running. They have regular roof AC units that will pull from 13 to 14 amps each. AS you stated Learn and understand your rig. But, MY comment involves real life Tech experience for 38 years. The poster stated he had a Front/Rear AC switch which means he does NOT have the EMS system. You do not install a Front/Rear AC switch if you have an EMS system. YOU have an automatic system to manage your AC amp consumption. Doug
