The NEC has complete article that pertains to RVs, Article 551.
Breakers are a UL standards and not NEC. Many breakers have tolerance of 10 percent plus or minus of their rated value. Old days, better manufacturers like Square D, were made at a 5 per cent tolerance. Those days are gone!
Things could be worse. Federal Pioneer had a 100 amp main breaker--it would melt before it would trip. Those days are gone, too!
However, I try to limit my consumption to 24 amps on a 30 amp pedestal.
