2002 Brave 2 ac units

We are camping in Texas and it’s super hot. I Put reflecting shield in the windows to deflect the Sun. We need to run both air conditioners to keep it halfway comfortable, On a 30 amp circuit. We turned all other electric appliances off and turned the refrigerator to propane. With both ac’s running I’m pulling about 26 amps. Will this harm the ac units.

No harm done as the setup is designed to kick the breaker before letting so much power through that it would harm the AC unit or overheat the wires.

Something that may sound insane or just be a way to distract your mind?
Try spraying water on the top and sides when setting in the sun as a way to help drop the temp a bit.
Do not expect a long lasting effect-----but playing in the hose may help anyway????

I keep thinking of how bad my grandkids will have it in 20-30 years!!
