A guy once told me that life is full of trade-offs...and he was right. I have a 25FB with one A/C. There weren't 2 A/C 25's in MY 2012. There have been times I have wished for a second A/C, but we adapted most of our camping to avoid July and August, or go to the mountains here in the SE region. Frankly I am happy to not mess with a 50 amp cord, ever, and the 30 amp limitation is not an issue for our camping. Sure if I wanted this to be just like home or a hotel 2 A/C's and 50 amp would better replicate that, but one does need to make a few sacrifices to "rough it".

The two (or more) square openings in all Airstream roofs can have either a Fantastic fan, skylight or an Air Conditioner. Thus one always has the option of retrofitting a second A/C and have a separate 20 amp cord to plug into a power pedestal.

That 50A power cord is a beast. In my experience, this is the only downside of the 2 ac option.

However, living along the Gulf Coast, there are times where 1 AC unit cannot keep up with cooling demand when camping locally. We love camping in the mountains, but the wife and I both have full-time jobs so summer weekend trips end up being in the "swamp".
