dual AC on 30 amps - I think I made it work
Here is what I did. Middle of day once temperatures start heating up, I switched my water heater and refrigerator over to propane. I unplugged cofee pot, curling iron, and anything else drawing elec...

Check your plug at the pedestal for heat.
Probably worth taking a look at the back of the breaker panel and all along the cord.
30amp is only rated for 25amp continuous, so you are really pushing the limits. If everything is in perfect condition and the voltage in the park is good, it can work.
Voltage can play a role here. If you are in a park with high voltage (but within nominal specs), it can work but if voltage drops, it will become a problem. Watts = Volts * Amps...so to maintain the same power (watts), if the voltage drops the amps will go up. If you are lucky, the breaker trips.
Never heard of Ohm's law I take it?
Ohms law has nothing to do with inductive motor loads. The current goes UP when the voltage goes down which is why windings can melt when motors aren’t fed the proper voltage.
