I just added a 50 amp supply to my trailer
We have a brand new 40 foot long Forest River trailer that only has a thirty amp 120 volt supply. It has a 15,000 BTU AC unit and a residential refrigerator. Three different times the 30 amp breaker...

Good job. It is insane and the pinnacle of cheapness for an RV manufacturer to install 30a service on an RV of that size.
I don't blame the manufacturer the buyer needs to know what they are getting.
While I am a 50 amp guy there are plenty that prefer 30 amps.
In the OP's case he just needed to put the water heater on LP to resolve his issue.
A single AC rig does not have to have 50 amps.
Some prefer 30 amps for ease of dealing with the cable. I see it as an option in a 27' rig, but a 30 amp in a 40' rig is insane.
The power cable is really a non-issue if one gets an SO cable, I carry 40' in a 3 gal. bucket.
