Oh yeah, I think when the AC was installed that they added a 30 shore power inlets. I have 2 directly next to one another. Since I would rather not run 2 shore power cables I found a 30 amp 2 to 1 y-adapter. Both my inlets are powered by a single 30 amp cord. I've never blown the breaker. I don't typically have the water heater on - ever. When I go to use the HVAC the batteries have normally been fully charged. I'm not running large heaters (space heater or hair dryers). And I can't recall using the microwave simultaneously with the HVAC. I've always been a little surprised that the setup has never tripped the dock breaker but I have no idea what the load is and I'm not complaining.
