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...

OP- One interesting piece of info would be to measure voltage IN the coach, AT the plug into the motorhome, and then AT the house breaker panel ?
Mine is a 50A coach, but that doesn't matter in this case as both of us are drawing the same load from a 30A circuit, and my drop isn't anywhere close to yours. FYI- I'm using 10ga to a Twist-lock on about 80' of 10ga, into a twist-lock ton30A RV dogbone, to a 30-50A RV dogbone. At 106 temps and both compressors turning, NO fridge (it's on LP), things are all consistently warm but nowhere near hot, and dropping <4v IIRC; sounds like you're is twice this. This is essentually a temporary setup and only used when it's at the house. I expect yours is similar or better (?) as that's a long run on the extension, but it works fine for what I built it for. If yours can't do this, sart looking for excessive heat, including the coach ATS, internal panel, and back to the house
