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...

As your readings testify and everything else you said Your system is losing voltage due to higher loads and not the coach.
The Hughes autoformer and others would help but going to 50 amp should stop the drop, to the 108 volt area.
The 50 amp box and heavier wire would be the better fix.
Someone else might know for sure but probably one ac is on one 50 amp circuit and the other ac on another 50 amp circuit in the coach. So the fifty amp box would put each ac on its own circuit again to the box.
Ours combined usually run in the 23 amp range, with fridge, tv and lights continously but can rise to 27 amps sometimes. The other day the gen sounded like it was running away, the panel said 43 amps. Someone had accidentally pushed the engine heater switch to on. Would not have known plugged in.
