Actually the original RV A/C unit plus a portable heat pump we're using as the additional A/C unit.
My method is not exactly pretty, but it required minimum work to get it operational. There are now two ways to connect the second A/C unit to the park power supply:
We now plug the 12,500 BTU heat pump into that dedicated circuit, and have the vent for the portable unit ducted outside the window where the unit is located.
We tried it out on a run to Orifino Idaho on the Clearwater river where the temperature was 105 degrees. We were very comfortable in our newly equipped rig with both cooling units running.

- Using the existing 30A cable and a second 20A cable - I added an additional NEMA L5-30R power inlet. I understand this might not be usable in all parks because the 20A and 30A park sockets are wired on the same 3Aa source.
- Using a new 50A power cord and a "Y" splitter adapting the 50A cord to two 30A plugs, then to the rig
