Here's how my circuits are set up:
Microwave 15A
A/C 20A
Fridge 15A
GFI outlets 15A
120V lights 15A
Then there is a row of low volt fuses.
I would occasionally trip a 20A breaker at home when the TT was plugged into a 20A outside GFI. I've since installed a 30A dedicated circuit where I park at home.
No need to name the TT brand but I'd guess the mfg. chose poorly on how to wire it.
Well this sound like a good way to wire things up, but if you add every circuit together, it's more than 80A power capacity, so at some point if everything was running all together, you'll set the 30A service into fire!! (obviously I am kidding as the main 30A will trig).
I think the problem with the trailer is definitely the water heater... 12A continuous is a LOT of power and it's a non-sense on a 30A service. Otherwise I think I would need to shut everything down only to run the water heater...
I just don't understand the point of putting 80A of appliances in a trailer with a 30A service...
