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 ...

Took first meter back and refrained from throwing it at anyone. Second meter reads digitaly between 121.9 to 123.4 fluctuating. (Watched numerous boring utube videos on multimeters) So I think replacing breakers would be a cheap fix but for long term as long as the ac unit doesn't need replacing my best bet would be to convert to 50 amp. Will switch the appliances for now to propane that I can.
Wonderful. Now turn the AC on and anything else you can. What's the voltage?
