cannot maintain electric?
Continue to pop circuit breaker. First three days no issues. Day four one occurrence . Day five late afternoon through the night - had to reset about 4 or 5 times? Any recommendations?

All the following is based on the assumption it is the 30 amp breaker tripping. Since this is a common problem.
30 amp service is really inadequate in the 21st century with all the conveniences we now have & love so much. As a result we tend to over load the 30 amp breaker and the more it trips the weaker it gets. Also feel your 30 amp plug, very often it runs hot because the receptacle is worn out and not making a good tight connection causing voltage drop at the connection point and a lot of excessive heat. I have seem the 30 amp plugs actually melt. A 50 to 30 amp is a very good option if the 30 amp receptacle is worn out as I have never seen a worn out 50 amp receptacle in a pedestal. As advised check your line voltage, in the warm weather a lot of RV parks do not have adequate electrical power and line voltage drops to a level that is too low. Low line voltage makes motors like the A/C draw more current then they should and if too low will harm your compressor. You could switch your refrigerator and or water heater to propane to reduce the current draw. All this may be more than you wanted to know but I consider it vital to your problem if it is the 30 amp breaker popping.
