2021 Minnie 2529RG A/C Question

Hello!
We just purchased a "new to us" 2021 2529RG Minnie. Very clean unit with very little use.
This is our 3rd RV so we are not new to RV'ing. This RV has 30 amp service with factory installed dual A/C's. As most of you know this does not work trying to run both at the same time with 30 amp service.
I guess the idea is to run one on fan mode only and the other one on cooling. Here in Texas both are needed in the summer.
I've heard after 2021 these units have 50 amp service. Besides changing the service receptacle, wiring to the breaker panel (which is close by), changing the breaker to 50 amp and splitting up the power for the A/C's, will this work? Anyone converted a 30 amp to 50 amp?
Thanks in advance!

Greetings rhardwick,
Rather than converting to a twin 50 amp service, you might consider running one of the air conditioners on a separate 20 amp line. Most RV Parks have both 20 amp and 30 amp services available at the campsite.
Removing one of the air conditioners from your existing 30 amp breaker box, and wire that into a separate 20 amp box with a male outlet plate. The park's 20 amp breaker will provide the circuit interruption should something short-out. I would recommend that you use a 12 AWG extension cord for the separate air conditioner.
Welcome to the forum.

Thanks Eagle5 for the response.
I discovered today while building a extension cord and installing a 30 amp circuit in my garage that both A/C units will run and cool at the same time.
This unit has the low profile A/C units (9000 BTU I think) so they don't pull the load I'm used to with the 13.5 and 15K A/C's.
All is good now!
Thanks

Could you please see if you can also run the microwave oven at the same time?
Thanks, Eagle5

As others have stated on different threads, with 30 amp and dual A/C the front A/C will cut off when the convection oven is on. I guess this is the EMS working. I can live with that as the cabin A/C is not affected.
Thanks
