Running AC and Fan on Second AC - 30 amp
We have a 50 amp TT with a 15k main AC and a 13.5 bedroom AC. I know I need 50 amp to run both AC's but can I run the 15k AC and just the Fan on the bedroom AC if I was hooked up to 30 amp? tks

If the park has good power and you minimize other use I have run two 13.5KBTU A/Cs (Carrier Air V's) on 30 amps for like half an hour,, Monitored current draw and the units, which had JUST been cleaned, (This is the 2nd time I did it) were drawing exactly their rated consumption of 13.5 amps each (27 total) per the clamp on meter.. The first time I did it they were brand new and thus clean.
IF the park's power is a touch anemic (Many are) no joy doing this.
But one A/C and the fan on the other.. Should work be no tribble at all since the fan motor is at most 5 amps and likely closer to 3.
HOWEVER,,, if you have ducted air.. You will be fooling yourself as one room (The Fan only room) will not be receiving cold air. If you have non-ducted air, then go for it.
now: How to cool both ends with only 30 amps .....
I have a lovely fan here It is about a 10" box fan not at all unlike an Endless Breeze save for one thing.. The price.. As I recall it was 20 or 30 bucks, Runs on 12 volt with an adapter or lighter plug.. Got it at Flying-J or Pilot (Pilot in my case) remember to use your loyality card so you score points.
