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...

Not sure what you are saying or if you know this, a 50a RV system is actually a total of 100a. You have two 30a legs while a 50a system has two 50a legs.
My 30A dual system has two 30A cords each feeding 30A subpanels (the original one and a second I installed). The two cords are feed via a dual 30A dogbone with a 50A plug. I'm well aware of what a 50A system is and that's why I called it a "TRUE 50A" since that as you said gives you a total of 100A of 110V.
My mod required ZERO mods to the existing OEM electrical system and I was able to keep my 30A PI EMS which I already had and I simply added a second 30A subpanel that feeds two 15A outlets which I added in the kitchen/entertainment area that are used for things like space heaters, coffee pots and our convection/toaster oven ... i.e. resistive only ckts where EMS protection is not so critical.
