I was wondering. Can you run one of the AC units off of the 20amp 110 breaker using a heavy duty extension cord? As in take the wiring for the second AC unit off of it's circuit breaker and run the Extension cord to that? If that would work I am thinking about adding a selector switch where I can run just that one AC on a separate campground breaker. Sorta similar to the idea of the old Y pigtail adapters they used to use before the Ground fault plugs got in the way.[/QUOTE]

Yes you can do that. It's the way we just installed my third one, but I would put a breaker in the line and figure out a way to use a EMS type system so you don't burn up one of your only two.
