Then ran a wire out the bottom of the bed area with the other wires into the rear drivers bay and installed an additional 30 amp receptacle. I can use a 30 to 15 amp adapter and plug into the post if need be but I bought a double 30amp dongle to a 50 amp plug. Installing the actual was the easiest part! lol. I also got the ac with heat strip.
This made a world of difference, with just the one air if we were in full sun on a hot day we couldnt get the coach below about 85* now its no problem.

Is there any special reason you decided to not add a 11k or 13.5k BTU as 2nd AC to be wired to your existing 30 Amp Service?
I ask thinking if you are boondocking you could run both with generator to help cool down and then shut one or the other down as you need?
Also, is it possible to do both? Meaning having a switch of some sorts that allows power to be source from addition 30Amp source you created or to be wired into the existing power that is fed by Generator & other 30 amp power source.
