The reason you can only have 30 amp installed is that there is a single 120V phase in that breaker box. I would suggest to buy a good 12 AWG extension cord and power your biggest appliance (probably the heater) with that cord. Connect the cord into a receptacle that is protected by a different breaker than the one you are using or install another receptacle on that different branch circuit at the breaker box. This setup will give you 40 amps of usable service and be cheaper than pulling new wire to a dedicated 30 amp receptacle.
The breaker box is a good 100ft from my trailer, over summer the A/C will be my biggest appliance thing, but can't individually hook that up. I had asked about getting another outlet thing installed too in the place he would set up the 30amp plug but he said wasn't possible
