roof A/C TRIPS 20 AMP BREAKER
WORKING ON ROOF A/C it runs and is cold for about 15 to 20 minutes and then it trips the 20amp breaker that it is connected to. trailer breaker box. I was thinking possibly I should use a 30 amp break...

Better yet, if you live in a warm climate, put the electric water heater on a separate 120v 10/3 SO cord. Plug that into the park's 20A receptacle. Been doing that for years.
13-15A draw from AC, 11-12A from water heater, 3-4A from fridge, 1A from 12v converter. You will definitely see problems at that point.
Also helps prevent me from burning up water heating element with extra step of plugging in the cord for that.
My TT has 30A service with all the above plus a 120V mini fridge in the front. I put the water heater, mini fridge, and one interior power outlet for running a space heater all on a separate 30A single-phase panel. Every circuit is separately and appropriately breaker protected.
Also, carry a male 50A to female 30A adapter with you. Some sites will have worn out or weak 30A service due to repeated overloading.
That sounds like great fix's. Could you post some pics of how you did this? Is your extra cord removable?
