A/C can only run by itself, anything else trips it

We are now in Southern Texas and it's already a 100 degrees. Fifth wheel 33 ft with one middle a/c unit and 30 amp. I am packed in shade. It's not keeping very cool except in middle near it though ...

Bought a VOM and output if I am reading it correctly was 135 (way to many options at the electric meter section as far as I'm concerned too.) And AC unit says 120V inside the cover.
No, 135 is not correct.
Suggest you purchase a digital plug in voltmeter. The $30 Kill A Watt is great because you can also plug in the coffee maker and see what it draws.
