You can run 13.5 & 11,000BTU ACs on 30 amp shore power. Fleetwood has been do it since 1996. Load shedding was used by Fleetwood but you can do your own energy management by making sure the refrigerator and water heater are on propane. You will need to shut down one AC when using a microwave or other such high amperage item. At sea level, a 4K generator should provide enough energy for both ACs. Do the math.

This statement is not really true. Fleetwood had RVP(Coleman) build a lo amp draw AC unit(both 13.5 and 11) that with both could run on 30 amp service. Those units had a hard time cooling as well as higher amp draw 13.5 and 11k units. So, to state that all 13.5 and 11 can run on 30 amp service is wrong. You must have those specific RVP units to do that. Those lo amp units are not real common now since so many RV's are 50 amp service. Doug
