We have been fulltiming for three years now and sometimes in really hot temps. the breaker kicks out in the rig. I have a volt meter in the kitchen. I monitor it occasionally and it has dropped depend...

The lower the voltage, the higher the amperage draw. 110 volts is marginal for adequate performance. If your in an area where the 110 volts is prevalent or the norm, I'd suggest getting an Autoformer. It plugs in line with your shorepower or can be permanently mounted and will boost the voltage in those low voltage conditions. It only performs when needed.
As mentioned above...you might replace the breaker that is continually tripping, it could be just weak from tripping and abuse of low voltage.
With power OFF, take a screwdriver and check the tightness of each lug where a wire is connected. You might even see a wire that is blackening, indicating a very loose connection.
When using the AC's, turn the frig and water heater to gas only. If you can reduce the charge rate on your converter, do so, lower it to 20 amp service.
