AC

2022 Salem 32bhds. We are running on 30 Amp right now due to the campground power issue. It seems to be getting hotter in the rig. The second AC unit Definitely kicks out a lot more cold air. Anyone else have AC problems

Depending on what else is running on shore power ( fridge, converter supplying 12V) you may have issues running two A/Cs. If you have the capability to run the fridge on propane try switching. You did not mention the problem the park is having, but if it is excessive current draw, it is also likely that the voltage is low stressing the A/C.

Unless you have a 50 amp connection, running two a/c's at the same time, will be a challenge. Especially in hot temperatures.

Our SOB is 30 amp with two A/C units. Each A/C is 11,000 btu’s, not the 13,500 or 15,000 units most RV’S come with. We are able to run both units no problem as each draws about 11 amps.
Running 2 13,500 units will clearly challenge a 30 amp unit.

You're having power problems, not air conditioner problems.
You might have a better result by running the air conditioner that is putting out more air and shutting off the second a/c. Try using a standalone fan to circulate the cold air from the bedroom.
