Seems like the bigger 5th wheels and trailers all have dual ACs and I assume 50 amp. Not all campgrounds always have 50 amp spots available and not all generators can handle dual ACs.
Am I right in thinking that finding an RV with single AC is more versatile or do the dual somehow manage with only one running?
I was in Moab and Las Vegas lately with temp around 100 and the single 13.5 in my 20' was working all the time just to keep temperature survivable.
Dual ACs are probably rarely necessary in a 20' RV. However, when an RV is over 30' long, there is a lot more space to cool and a lot of cooling capability is lost in the poorly insulated duct work. Dual ACs also allow you to cool a sleeping area without cooling an entire large RV.
