We just bought a 373rd 2022 with a 50amp service. We plan on taking lots of trips. I see lots of people talk about a lot of campsites only have 30amp sources, plus I have a 30amp generator.

Scenario: If I plug into 30amp power, can I run both my A/C units coleman mach 15000 btu (1 with a heat pump) on this connection? Will my 400i watt solar charging system kick in and help or will it just all run on shore? Does the batteries help supplement the power the system is not getting from shore? I know the batteries are not hooked to the a/c units. They are connected to my res fridge and 7 outlets. Thanks in advance. I am having trouble finding unique scenarios like these. Trying to get a full understanding of how things work together or not work together.
