I look at this as trying to get blood out of a turnip....:)
Exactly what are you trying to accomplish....:h:h:h:h
Your campsite offers you 30amp service. With that you can run one A/C unit and marginally the other one. I'm assuming here that your coach is 50amp. So, you have several choices....
1. Enjoy having ONE A/C running at a time. You won't need the bedroom one until you're ready to retire. Run the front A/C while you're up and the rear A/C when it's time for bed.
2. Run a separate line for the rear A/C so you can plug it into the 20amp service available at the post.
3. What is your comfort level? It shouldn't matter how much fuel your genset uses if you're trying to keep your coach cool in the heat/humidity.
Your coach has a transfer switch. This means you will be running off either the generator OR the pedestal, NOT BOTH. You will not get EXTRA power by running the generator. Keep in mind, most gensets will power whatever needs your coach may have. My coach uses a lot so it has a 12,000kw genset. Your 7k may be sufficient to run everything inside. Your manual and/or mfg should be able to assist you with those numbers.....good luck ....Dennis
