If so, plan ahead. Installing a second A/C on roof is pretty much the same in either case, but A/C selection and how they are powered may be different.

Granted, you can always use a portable generator for the second A/C when there’s no shore power, but that may be a hassle for some. It would be for me. My personal needs would require both A/Cs be able to run off motorhome’s built-in generator.
Why use a portable generator? The Onan 4000 can handle both A/Cs as longa as they are not both 15K BTU units. You may not be able to run anything else if both are running, but the 4K should handle it.
