It may be that the circuit breakers are failing. Continuous tripping will shorten their life. Replacement is the typical remedy and isn't expensive.
Load balancing a single 30 amp service is an art and a science. Use of electric heaters will gobble up a lot of amps, almost half of your available power. If possible, take a note from Roy or Pianotuna and use a breakout box or even additional extension cords to distribute power from the pedestal to your RV.
If I were fulltiming, I'd like to know the exact status of the pedestal at all times of the day. It may be that you experience some voltage drop during peak load times of the day at that park or that the service is not all that is assumed.
Good luck with the power issues.
