Will Both Plugs on the Mighty Cord RV Power Adapter Y-Cord Provide 30 Amps

Question:

If you have 50 amp Do both plugs get 30 amp? Can you use A/C on each 30 amp plug?

The Mighty Cord RV Power Adapter Y-Cord part # A10-50X30Y will provide you with 25 amps at each 30 amp female receptacle assuming the shore power hookup is supplying a full 50 amps. No matter what type of adapter you use, you will be limited to the amount of power provided at the shore power hookup which in your case is 50 amps.

If the combined amp draw of your two air conditioning units does not exceed 50 amps then you can plug one into each side of the adapter. This might work for two small 13,500 Btu units but you would likely need a start capacitor for anything larger. You would also not want to start both units at the same time as well because of the high startup power draw.
