Default trouble running A/C on Genset

Hi,
I recently bought a 1999 Sunsport (30 amp) from a private party. The manual I rec'd is very generic and high level. There is a switch located next to the converter (I think that's what it is - it has both the AC and DC fuses). What does this switch do? It looks something like this:
---------------------------------------------------------
REAR SHORE FRONT
G
E
N

B
O
T
H
AIR CONDITIONER
---------------------------------------------------------
I can only switch between "Rear" and "Front". It is a twist knob.

The reason I ask is because I cant seem to run both of the A/Cs off of my Genset (with nothing else running). The A/Cs have not been consistent. The front A/C seems to blow fine most of the time, but the rear A/C either works fine, doesnt turn on, or blows warm air. I am guessing it is an A/C problem, but I am curious as to what that switch does. I just bought this RV and havent even taken it out yet. So, I havent been plugged into 30amp service (only have 15 at home).

A follow up question: If I was running both A/Cs and then ran the microwave, wouldnt one of the A/Cs kick off until the Micro was done, then kick back on?

I know this was long, so thanks for reading.

Regards,
Stan
