What size breaker is protecting your 30 amp receptacle? The RV's main breakers won't trip until 50+ amps on either leg. If your 30 amp receptacle isn't protected by a 30 amp breaker, the rig will try to gobble current as long as the receptacle will supply it - the 30 amp breaker would be the limiting factor.

Noel, I agree with you to about pulling to much load. The breaker is 30 amp and has tripped in the past not all that often but it should have tripped before the trailer lost all power during the night due to the 2 heaters running. I have had 2 adapters begain to fail in the past and they caused the breaker to trip so I replaced them before failure. But this time it melted and didnt trip the breaker. I would upgrade the service to 50 amp! But I have paved over the service line, oops? Not looking forward to ripping out 16' of concret to upgrade the service.
Can't fish new/more wires through the conduit? You =did= use conduit, didn't you? :-)
