Didn't know you could run an AC on only 20 amp breaker. Voltage at the AC unit always drops below 106 VAC. What is the AC volts at any outlet in the rig when the AC's are RUNNING? Years ago, I tried to run a single AC at a 20 amp only Ckt. campsite. Volts dropped to only 104. I ran it any ways. Two weeks later the AC compressor went out.
And voltage doesn't drop to 106V with adequate wiring assuming the GC distribution system has good voltage and that includes a 20A pedestal.
