Hey Jeff, it is possible to have a second AC unit on a 30 amp trailer but you'd have to have like a SoftStart part # SSR54FR as on start up two units would about max out a 30 amp setup and not leave much room for additional accessories to be powered.
What does he have now and what is he considering for the second unit?
