Upgrade to 50 amp. Get a cord and an electrical box that supports 240 VAC and up to 6 relays plus a master on/off relay, wire the new cord to it so that you have two 120 vac bus bars working, put a 30 amp breaker on one side and wire that to your existing AC power distribution panel. That gives you your existing AC power setup with no changes. Put a 20 amp breaker on the other bus and wire that to your new AC unit. If you want to add more things or split off some outlets (like the microwave or the furnace) you can do that too, add them to the same bus as the new AC is on. Make sure the new electrical box does not bond neutral to ground.
Alternatively install the new AC unit with a separate cord and plug it into the 20 amp outlet that is usually available on the power post in the campground.
