15K A/C unit will pull roughly 16-17 amps
x2 RV A/Cs draw anywhere from 12-16 amps when it is in its running mode. There is a condition that occurs when the unit starts up called in-rush current. The A/C compressor being hard to kick over on head pressure will briefly draw in excess of maximum rated amps until it gets running, But, as someone else said, as long as the 2 units try to start at once. The breaker may trip.
The compressor is what draws the big amps. Just using the fan will only draw a one or two amps. No problem there.
