What we do when running portable electric heaters is to plug them into the camp ground 20AMP service using a HD extension cord run into our trailer.
This gives us a separate 120VAC circuit to plug our portable heaters into which has their own circuit breaker.
This frees up more capacity we use from our 30AMP source coming from the camp ground...
Maybe you have this additional capability where you are. Most camp ground pedestals have the extra 20AMP service as well as the 30Amp service...

Something to think about maybe...
