On 30 amps, with most motor homes and fully charged HOUSE batteries you can run most everything save for ONE air conditioner (Read on)
With batteries down add the Microwave to the "Can not run" list (However this will quickly change as the batteries charge) I have run both TV's. Water heater, Fridge, Microwave and ONE A/C w/o problems
As for the other A/C.. Well like one of the above I visited http://www.psrv.net did not like their price so having the skills, I built my own for less. But that will work
One caution about it: The instructions are for a 30 amp rig, you need to modify a bit. If that's beyond your or your installer.. Just ask, I'll update
Nothin adds excitment like something that is none of your business

FYI on the power adapter. They also have instructions for a 50amp coach.
Just installed mine this morning (with help of a friend who is licensed electrician).
Took a couple of hours but works great.
We are heading out next week with two grandkids, 2 large dogs, and 2 adults. Know we are going to a park with 30amp service and running both ACs is almost mandatory to keep coach cool. Now looking forward to the trip.
We are all good at something.....
I just happen to be a good bad example.
Occasionally in error but never in doubt.

Most A/C's (non high-efficency models) will pull 12-16 amps on high cool, much more at initial start up. 16x2= 32amps. However, if it's not 100 degrees outside, they probably wont pull the full 16amps. Start one a/c, let it run for about 20 min. or so so the head pressure will equalize, then start the 2nd a/c. If it's weak, it will trip the breaker; but understand, you probably wont be able to run much else, if anything, with both of them going. Just so you know.. LOW cool means nothing, it only slows the fan down, doesn't decrease compressor draw so don't let that fool you.

I'm glad to hear that.. When Last I got a review on the product (I built my own) they only had 30 amp coach instructions.
The fun part is today in another forum a gent described what he did so he could use both AC's at one time on his 30 amp coach
He did a great job of describing http://www.psrv.net
Could not have done better myself
