Add extra circuit
I have 30 amp service, which limits my ability to run the A/C and the microwave for example at the same time. Is it possible to add a 50 amp (by an electrician) circuit to the TT, dedicated to just...

X2. Something's wrong with one or more of the OP's appliances.
MW should be 10 amps or so.
AC has a big surge to start but under 15 amps running.
Yes a 30a circuit is only good for 23-26 amps continuous duty, the microwave counts as an intermittent load.
A/C drawing 15 amps running, 3 for the fridge, a few for all the things plugged in (tv, satellite box) then turning on the microwave for more than about 10 seconds, too much and the breaker blows. Was the same on my previous TT, so I don't think I have any appliance issues. This is the reason why I would like a whole separate circuit for the A/C, and the only way I could think of was to add a 50 amp circuit to the TT, but just for the A/C (and maybe a plug dedicated to something like a space heater in the winter). Trying to take some of the load off and avoid the constant pain of turning off the A/C anytime I want to use something else.
