in my 50 amp rv if I have it plugged into a 30 amp plug can I run both of my a/c units? thank you in advance.

Maybe…maybe not! It will depend on what other electrical appliances you have on at the same time and whether both AC units start at the same time. The major amperage draw on ACs is during startup. Each unit will probably pull 15A on startup. If they both start at the same time, they may pop the 30A breaker. If any other electrical appliances are on, the 30A breaker will almost surely open. When running, each AC will probably draw 10-11A. That’s within the 30A service.

Jerry,
That’s why people are installing SoftStart or Microair devices, to reduce the start up draw spike on the electrical system.
But you will not be able to run just about anything else while both AC’s are running.
