30 amp with a/c units?
Can we run both a/c units (15 &13.5) on 30 power? It is 100 degres where we're at and one a/c is barely keeping up.

you likely can IF your RV has an energy mgmt system. an EMS will start shutting down unneeded loads such as the fridge and electric water heater in favor of the AC. if no energy mgmt system then....
- if you're in a MH go to home depot, lowes, ace, etc and get a roll of window foil and use it to block the windshield. 99% of the heat is coming thru there. the windshield heats up and radiates heat into the RV.
- bring in the slides. less sq feet means the AC wont have to work as hard
- get a couple of fans to help move the air around
- run the fridge and water htr on gas to reduce your elec load to help the AC keep up.
- go out to a movie or shopping center during the hottest part of the day
- lastly, pack up and go elsewhere. you're in an RV after all.
