I would expect it to be able to run both a/c as long as they don't both start at the same time, this is what an ems does is stage them so they don't both hit with startup surge at same time.

If your batteries are up to snuff, all the lights turned off, the floor off, TV's off, and the refer on propane you had the old 13.5 K btu airs you could run both airs with low fan on moderately warm days. But with

the new 15K btu airs you have there is no way to run two airs at the same time on 30 amps. I was at a

park that only had 20 amp breakers and I had trouble operating one air and 1 TV with the refer on

propane.

Marvin,

I don't think you'll successfully run two air conditioners on that 30 amp line. The voltage is too low.

With voltage at 110 with only two amps you are likely to be at somewhere near 107 volts with the first A/C running. That will put you at the original 2 amps plus probably 14 amps for the A/C. The second A/C would draw the voltage further to more like 104 volts as the A/C tries to start. I just don't think that second A/C is going to work.

Good luck.

Marvin, I can't run both on 30. You'll need to turn one off or run them off your generator.

Tired it the other day and I would have to agree, only run one A/C at a time.
