Haven't heard of that lately, but some have had to move their AC's position in the past. That wasn't true on either our 2010 or our 2017, but it is not unheard of.

Ive been running the two AC quite a bit much more than we use to and the black at the outside power post socket/ plug has fried so this is the reason for my? So it might pay me to move bedroom one over the other leg.
Den.

I think I would. The reason I know on both of them is because I checked when I heard about others and intended to balance the load on the 2010 but it wasn't necessary. Then we we got the 2017 I checked again, you know why.

I would look at all the other loads. If all the other heavy loads (water heater, microwave, converter, kitchen outlets where you plug in coffee pot, toaster, etc) are one one leg and little more than the two A/Cs on the other leg then it is already pretty well balanced. Two A/Cs are well below the 50 amps for that leg when on 50 amp service. And on 30 amp service it doesn’t matter any way.

Washing machine I assume includes the dryer. And GFCI likely includes the bathroom so might get hair dryer and or curling iron. Looks like you are fairly well balanced.

New problem, my living room ac will not run keeps tripping the breaker I have installed new motor and all 3 capacitors a few weeks ago. I have took a meter and checked 3 lugs at the top of compressor C.S.R and got a continuity sound then did it from lugs to the outside can and got the same response does this mean the compressor is shot please?

Does the breaker trip as soon as the A/C comes on? After a few minutes?

Main breaker fried
2016 Montana High Country 352rl...I fried the main 50amp breaker running both a/c on a 104 degree day. Didn't know both a/c on one leg of breaker so that future washer/dryer (which I don't have) could be on other leg. Dealer service mgr. Installed new breaker and switched 1 a/c to other leg.
