Upgrade to a bigger ac or add a second one?
Me and my wife like it really cold so when we go camping so our poor 15k btu ac runs non-stop. We only have 30 amp service. Is there a bigger ac than 15k and am I able to put a second ac in if the cam...

Cheapest and easiest way is to do like others already suggested. Just add a portable a/c with a separate wire going to the campground pedestal.
You could also help your a/c with a portable dehumidifier. I use the dehumidifier in the winter when propane and weather are adding too much moisture to my windows. But it would also help in the summer in high humidity areas.
I hard wired an external extension cord plug connected to a GFCI outlet in my trailer. I use it for a space heater, dehumidifier or any other high amp draw appliance. Then I save my 50 amps for other conveniences. I got the plug and outlet on Amazon.
The other issue would be the condensation drain. I set the dehumidifier in the in the shower and let it drain in there. Normally it will collect about a gallon of condensate overnight.
Adding a second a/c to a 30 amp wired trailer doesn't sound cost effective to me. My 2 cents.
