A/C flipping circuit breakers while travrlling

A couple things come to mind. If you're in the desert southwest, with relentless sun beating down on the A/Cs, AND the sun hitting the wall of a cabinet where your Circuit breakers are, then it's possible you need to service the A/Cs up above to ensure they are all clean, fins are straight, and the insulation is in place. And, you might open the cabinet where the CBs are (if they are in a cabinet where the sun will hit the outside wall) in order to allow them to cool.

And of course, as mentioned, check that the voltage to them isn't too low.

DITTO: on hot circuit breaker panel. We had a hot snap of 110 a couple of weeks ago. I left the bedroom closed and both AC's running but the vents were set to push most of the cool air forward. The AC panel is in a closet and finding the RV hot as heck due to a tripped breaker I naturally put my hand on the panel and it was terribly hot.

After resetting it it tripped again. I then took the cover off and the the heat coming out was intense. Using a fan I quickly ventilated iit. Once the AC's were running I left the closet door open to allow the cool air to hit the panel.

Giving that some thought for a few days I decided installing a small fan would annoy us. So I took the cover off and placed 1/8 inch spacer behind the plate which allows air to flow in and out of the panel now.
