Usually, 2 air/con units are on separate legs of the 240v, so you need to get power to both legs without creating a conflict between the 2 hots.

The standard 30A to 50A plug adapters will do just that.

I'm not sure what you mean by "creating a conflict between the two hots"; on most RVs, they are pretty practically independent of each other, only sharing the same neutral return (and, of course, safety ground). If you have any 240V circuits--which are not too commonly found in RVs--then they just won't have power when connected to the 120V supply since both legs are at the same potential all the time.

What he means is that the 2 air conditioners are on separate legs of the 50 amp system. Or should be. A 30 to 50 dog bone adapter puts them on the same (30 amp) leg. That is "creating a conflict between the two hots" since both A/C units may try to start up at the same time.

Depending on yoru generator it may be possible to run TWO Air conditioners but since I do not know the genny... I can not be sure.

Probably with a MicroAir Easy Start on both !

With soft start and also check how things are wired up, it's possible. Usually, 2 air/con units are on separate legs of the 240v, so you need to get power to both legs without creating a conflict between the 2 hots.

1) NO
2) YES

Quite possible your EMS would not allow your genny to power your trailer.

If your EMS shows an open ground just use a neutral bonding plug which you can make yourself.

I have a Westinghouse generator. Well made, lasts if you regularly service it. Enjoy your new TT. Consider reading the basics on RV electricity.
