Well, it appears this exact question has been addressed and answered for us already. While looking at Jayco motorhomes, I noticed that all Alante floorplans except for the very shortest 26-footer come with 2 X 11,000 BTU/hr air conditioners, while specs also show 30-Amp service and 4,000-Watt generator. The shortest which has open floorpan comes with single 15,000 BTU/hr A/C.
So for motorhomes in the 26+ to 32-foot range, it appears a good compromise may be 22,000 total BTUs/hr, and the 2 A/Cs can apperently run on 30-Amp service and 4,000-Watt generator.
An additional question is whether this setup could work effectively without an EMS (provided by Jayco), or if it would become a pain to manage loads manually.
Also the question of cost to upgrade for those who own an existing RV with 30-Amps and 4,000-Watt generator. Upgrading to 50-Amps may not be too expensive, but upgrading to new 5,500-Watt generator may get costly.
