Nice.
'CAN' you enjoy yourself while 'only' on a household outlet. Maybe yes.

Did you know in advance if you were on 15 or 20 Amp circuit?
When cutting it that close, air conditioner size and efficiency is very important due to variations in Amp draw. Some may pull as little as 11 Amps and others over 15 Amps. What were you running? And were you monitoring total current?
Anyway, your example shows that newer mid-size motorhomes with 30A service can have two small Power Saver air conditioners as long as one is turned off temporarily while microwave is used. The extra 10~15 Amps can power the second A/C.
