4500W generator probably won't run 2 ACs, that would be the same as running 1 on a 2200W generator which generally is a failure. Dual 3k inverter gens would do it on gasoline but might have a problem on propane if both units have their compressor kick on at the same time (my 15k AC surges to 25A at startup, twice that is 6kw and most generators are derated for propane).
Actually, it's much different as the startup of 2 air/con units is pretty easily kept separate.
- 1st air/con is easy.
- 2nd air/con starts with around 1200-1500w draw from the 1st leaving 3000-3200w to start the second.
- Worst case a soft start unit on the air/con units would solve the startup.
One issue is feeding both legs of a 50amp @240v rig with a 120v generator. As long as you don't have any 240v appliances, it can be done with an appropriate adapter.
