1) Probably not, but you may get both running by starting one, then the other. If you run both, there will be very little else that can be run.
2) Most likely correct, if two will start.
3) Most likley.
4) Electrical management and knowing your amperage draw on devices will be critical. I can assure you that a coffee pot and hair dryer will factor into this heavily (experience from toting around three women is invaluable for what and when the pedestal breaker will kick!!)
5) They should both be ducted, but I am not sure about the Mountaineer models.
An additional option, if there is a 20 amp receptacle on the pedestal, is to run an extension cord into the rig for additional loads. Or, if the pedestal is an older type without a GFCI on it, you can also purchase a cheater box which will plug into the 30 amp and 20 amp receptacles and give you close to 50 amps for the rig. These devices will not work with GFCI's.
