30A Circuit Breaker at house tripping
Motorhome plugged in full time. Temps outside around 100-105 degrees. MH basement a/c running constantly during the day. Except when the circuit breaker trips :( I'm talking about the one on the side...

Frig is not residential. And I forgot to write that this happened last week without the frig running...just the a/c.
I believe both compressors are running, because when I turn on the a/c, first the panel shows 15 amps for a few minutes, then it rises to 23. Or could the second compressor kicking on use a momentary high draw? What if I turn off the MH circuit breaker for the 2nd compressor? Maybe the 1st compressor could keep up my set point of 85 degrees since I leave it on all the time (i.e. not just turning on the a/c when temps reach 100 and expect it to cool down the MH).
Could the amps go up during the hottest part of the day, or are amps a constant? (I don't know enough about electricity.)
