Add up the amp load from both A/Cs and your over the running output for this generator.
1725 watts Main A/C + 1300 watts bedroom A/C = 3025 watts or 25 amps. This does not take into account the start up power requirements.
So, I'm pretty sure you'll be a bit short on power for both AC's if that's your plan.
Plus, that open frame generator is really noisy (73db) compared to an inverter type.

I’m a little confused on his available power. I’m not sure how it’s getting split to 22 amps on one leg and 18 on the other. His 4500 watt running power should be providing 37.5 amps constant power. I would have thought if it split in the plugs that it would be roughly 19 amps per leg. I’ve never tried or used a setup the way the OP has it, so I was just going off what he said he had for available power.
