Expecting too much from AC?
We took our 5th wheel out last weekend (Jayco 29.5 BHDS) and the campsite only had 30 amp hookups available, so we could only run 1 AC unit. Unfortunately, that 1 unit could not keep up. On Saturday...

tim1970,
I would try running both air conditioners. Monitor the voltage during the hottest part of the day. If it stays at 107 volts or above you are golden.
Makes me remember a problem we ran into a few years ago while staying in a larger CG. Our normally cold A/C unit just wasn't putting out much cold air.
When we walked around we heard lots of other A/C unit working, including a few big RVs with 3 rooftop units. All that usage was creating a bit of a CG brownout- low voltage.
The OP may have been asking too much of a single A/C unit that was trying to run on less than proper voltage.
We now carry a volt meter to check.
