However, the ONAN feeds a total of 6.0 kW to the two conductors of the input cable. Yes, each "side" is breakered at 40 Amps, but I "suspect" that the adapter cable splits its input two directions, also. Therefore, I believe that there should be no problem with running the second A/C from the 15 Amp capable supply.

FWIW, I am NOT an electrician but a retired electronic (radio) technician.

Keep in mind the factory GMC wiring is 14-50 which is TWO 50A legs of 125V coming in to the coach so 100A available from the post compared to 30A on
the TT-30. Big difference. (Ok for the purists most GMCs were breakered at 40A at their load center so only 80A). Running 2 rooftops on 30A is
marginal at best with OEM units as they draw 14-18A running depending on size of unit and conditions. This will cause Voltage drop which is not good
for the units.
