Two inverters for 50 amp service
We have a Go Power IC Series 3000 watt inverter and 50 amp service on our 5th wheel. I have 2 complaints about it that I wasn't aware of when it was installed. The monitor panel only monitors Line...

Cptn: 50A 120/240V service is SINGLE PHASE POWER the same as the typical house. Granted many think it's 2 phase, it is not and cannot be because it's a single secondary winding on the transformer and the center tap is the neutral. And yes it's 240V across the 2 hots.
You can install a load sharing inverter on each hot line with battery input. The 120V output of each (or at least one) will need to be connected directly to a A/C and not through the main CB panel.
Running one A/C on a 20A circuit can be iffy especially in a CG as the voltage will often be low. 1600W solar will yield about 1000W on a normal day unless you have tracking solar. So you can get some limited A/C run time when there is sun, no other significant loads and not so much when the sun doesn't shine.
You have more solar than most but is it practical for A/Cs? Probably best to use a gen for the A/Cs unless you have 30 or 50A shore power. All of this gets moderated depending upon the weather so roll the dice for any particular day and night.
