All I can say is they were all turned to electricity. Whether they were all running, I never paid much attention to. But I don't go turn one off before turning another on, and I can't recall any issues. Believe what you want.
If what you say is true, you might want to have an electrician check it out. With those kinds of loads, the main breaker should be popping (either at the pedestal or on the RV's breaker panel).
Were you by chance plugged into a 50amp pedestal with an adapter to provide a connection to your 30amp trailer?
There is a reason breakers have amp limits and it's to protect against electrical damage up to and including fires. What you describe will have peak loads well above 40amps.
