With an 18' trailer, you can probably save the expense of a transfer switch by wiring in an inverter and using a multi-tap strip to run cords the short distance to the appliances.
FWIW, I rewired my trailer with 50 amp service when I restored it. It is no more work than installing a 30 amp service. Prices start to rise when using a 50 amp power inlet and a 50 amp cord (they don't give those away).
Good luck with your project!
