I would check to see how much amps those a/c's pull. I know when I
run mine it really stretches the limits on what else is running in
the coach. You can always wire up the other on and put it on its own
fuse but of course this will take a little bit of work. What kind of
generator do you have? I have a 6500 KW after market on mine and it
does provide enough juice to run both A/C's and a few other
accessories.
