You could by a load center rated for, say 70 amps, and use a 30 amp main breaker. These smaller load centers are cheap and abundant. Last time I bought one, it was on sale for $26. I don't think you can beat that price with an RV product.
FWIW, I rewired my Starcraft with 50 amp service. The only downside is the cost of the cord and an adaptor for using when only 30 amp pedestal service is available.
I'd also suggest you have a 12v system on board. There is just too much variety of usage with 12v to pass it up. If you choose not to have any 12v wiring, you can mount a small SLA battery on the tongue to power the emergency break-away system.
