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...

Think a new 20 amp circuit is the best way to go, based on what everyone is posting here.
Seems simple enough to just add another 20 amp circuit; but not sure I could add it to the existing panel. There would be room on the wall to add another small breaker next to the panel if necessary. It is a straight shot from the box to the outside wall, through the kitchen sink cabinet, unlike the current 30 amp inlet. (why the mfg put the inlet 20 wire feet away from the box baffles me!)
I haven't looked online yet to see if there is a 20amp connector that I can put on the outside of the TT, but thinking there must be one somewhere. Or can I just use another 30 amp connector and an adapter at the pedestal?
Thinking this is doable at not a huge cost!
Check out this album CLICKY to see the details on how I added a second 30A service to my trailer for a reasonable cost. The captions show the parts/cost and where I got the items. This now gives me 60A total service and the ability to not to have to touch the existing electrical service. I still have to be cautious since I can't run the WH, A/C and microwave all at the same time, but that is easily managed since I can shut those on/off from the same location so it's not that much of an inconvenience.
