Turn off everything except the A/C. That means the converter (which is probably charging the battery and drawing 6 to 8 amps), turn off the water heater (drawing 10 amps), and put the refrigerator on gas (saving about 5 amps). I bet this solves your problem.
The branch circuit breaker tripping for the A/C shouldn't be influenced by the draw of those other devices. They are on a separate circuit. It may be that they are causing a lower voltage but it's improbable that is a big influence since all the breakers are wired in parallel.
You are correct, but if something else is wired in that circuit (I know it is not supposed to be) then my suggestion will confirm the problem.
