With a 30amp rig, it will bump against the 30amp limit for a second or two while the compressor kicks on but then with a few other minor loads it will drop back to around 10-15amps.
As long as all the trailers don't have the air/con kick on simultaneously, it's fine and that would be exceedingly unlikely.
With an EMS, 50 amp rigs will often run 24-30amps (depending on settings), now the overhead in the upstream system is eaten up and when someones compressor kicks over, the upstream breaker pops shutting down a string of RV's and typically requires staff to come out and reset the breaker.
