AC units require a minimum of 30amp and if you're running two units you'll need 50amp. You're going to need to run atleast a 30 amp outlet from your house. 30amp is going to require #10 wire and 50amp is going to require #8 wire. I ran a 30amp outlet to the outside of wall of my garage and use an extension cord to it from my camper like Item # A10-3050EHLED. You'll need an 50amp to 30amp adapter coming off your camper to the outlet as well Item # A10-3050D90VP.
