How to add 2nd. A/C

I have a 30 amp fifth wheel. I would like to add a 2nd A/C in the bedroom. A RV dealer told me they could add a 20 amp drop leg. That would be the 2nd ac wired directly to a seperate receptacle mounted on the side of the trailer. I would have to plug in my 30 amp cord like normal and then if I wanted to run my 2nd ac I would have to plug in a extension cord to the seperate receptacle and then plug the cord into the 20amp outlet next to the 30 amp on the park power . Has anyone ever heard of this. That would mean that the parks power would have to be wired for 50 amps total.??????????????????

This is exactly what I did three years ago and it has worked very well for us. Only once did we end up in a 'last resort' park where we didn't have the ability to hook up both plugs.

One suggestion: when wiring the 20 amp service, include a separate wall outlet in the bedroom. This will allow you to run an electric heater off that circuit in cool weather.
