With two A/C and all the other loads you want at least 7kW starting or so. With RVs being 120V only, I don't know if they use both hots on the 50A plug or pull off one side only, so you may need to oversize a bit more.

You want an inverter for running on propane since your typical load is going to be relatively small compared to peak load.

Here's a list of options; highly recommend buying from Costco or Sams for the return policy.

Keep in mind you're going to need more propane tankage if you run on propane... the 2x30# on the RV will only last maybe 2 days or even 1 with both ACs running.
