LEARN HOW TO RUN 2 RV A/Cs ON A 30 AMP CONNECTION

First, Hi to everyone!
Since we're new to RV'ing, we purchased a very good in shape RV and below book value as the dealer needed more space for his other Cars on his lot. It's a 1983 Winnebego Itasca Class A RV with a 6.2 liter diesel engine, but it came to me without any manuals to learn and know all I need to know about the RV.
To be sure it was safe and valued fairly. I had an RV mobile mechanic first come out and check it for any problems assessing it inside and out. He said we were stealing it at roughly by $2k-3k for the price we paid and the condition it was in. 2 Minor problems, she's pulls the right when brakes are used. My mechanic had told me about it also before taking it for a test drive. It had a new right brake line and probably just needs to be bled and that the RV's AC Condenser is seized, so I'll replace it...Roof AC seems to operate fine.
Congratulations on your new RV and welcome to the RVing Lifestyle, now to your questions.

. You will have to choose what works best for you.
