You can buy the smallest circuit breaker panel at Home Depot, probably 4 circuit 120/240 breaker box. You can feed it with 4 breakers. One should be a 30 amp main, another 20 amps for the heater-A/C unit. You can pick 20 or 15 amp breakers to feed everything else, depending on the wire size. . .
Then buy a 30 amp rated power cord. If you get a 30 amp RV extension cord, and remove the receptacle end, you can wire that to the 30 amp breaker, and wire it up just like a home. Just separated the ground and white bussbars. In your home, the main breaker box with a meter shall have the white and grounds on the same bussbar. However all other breaker panels need to have the white wire and ground bussbar separate!
Good luck!
