Propane for the fridge should be fine but you will be pushing that 30amp outlet to run 2 AC units.
Keep in mind a 30amp outlet is actually only rated for around 25amps. You might want to check the voltage drop to make sure you aren't killing your AC units with low voltage.
What do you mean by check voltage drop? Just make sure the voltage is not dropping below some threshold?
If you push up near the limits, the line voltage doesn't always keep up (especially in a campground with lots of RV's all running thier AC). If the voltage drops a little, it's not a big deal. If it's down to 100volts or less, there can be problems.
2 AC units is really pushing the limits. Keep in mind:
- Your battery charger will kick on occassionally drawing a few amps.
- TV, laptop, phone chargers can add a couple amps.
- When one of the AC units starts up, it will draw far more than the rated amps. Since you are already using close to your max, the odds of tripping the circuit go up significantly.
If you do try this make sure to check the plug periodically to make sure it isn't overheating.
