I like the propane because it is less generator maintenance, I can run them off the propane on my unit or a separate tank and the campgrounds I go to fill propane right in the campground. With the smaller generators I can easily get them in and out of the bed of my truck and they fit easily even when towing my fifth wheel.

We also have a dual 15K AC setup in our 5'r and we have MicroAir installed on both units. One of our Honda 2200's can run a single AC or both Honda's for both AC's. The problem with AC unit's isn't the running voltage, it's the starting power required because of the design. For example - your 15K AC only takes 2K to run but takes 3.5K to start. After it's started, the power draw falls off and the gen runs fine. With the MicroAir soft start, it reduces the initial power required to start the AC, so there's less issue with power consumption or generator size.
Like anything, it's better to have something and not need it vs. need it and not have it. If you have dual AC's and dual gen's, you're in a good place. Good Luck!
