Connecting Both A/C units to run at same time

I have a 37 ft 94 Dutchmen with 30 amp electrical service that is factory equipped with 2 Coleman RVP 7000 rooftop A/C units. In the back room, there is a switch to run either the front or the rear, but not both.

I am going on the presumption that this is to avoid electrical overload.
Now I know there are newer more efficient units that state 2 can be run simultaneously.

My question is this: Can the OEM units be connected to run simultaneously and the coach builder only separated them to be cautious, or can I bypass the switch and run them both?

This would be mostly for night time sleeping. The RV doesn't really cool down much in summer with just one. I understand that this would limit what else can run at the time but given that the old tube tv's have been replaced with flat screens etc, can it accommodate?
