I wouldn't let the 50A requirement dictate the trailer; that's the easiest thing to change. Find one that is within the capabilities of the tow vehicle, has a layout you like, is a good price, is well made, etc. Then, if it happens to only have a 30A service you can easily swap the breaker box and the power cord. Or, have an RV shop do it for you.
Well, not exactly "easy" for everyone.
"Do able" yes, easy or cheap, not really.
Most RVs use a all in one 120V/12V/converter box.
Not easy or cheap to replace those all in one boxes at $250 just for the panel/converter.
HERENot to mention, the 50A panel may be larger than the 30A and may or may not fit in the space allotted.
Instead, you simply ADD an extra small 6-8 position breaker panel.
Run the 50A shore cord to that breaker panel.
Run 30A circuit out to existing 120V breaker/12V/converter panel.
Then put additional breaker for second A/C into the new 50A panel, making sure you place the second breaker on the opposite line in.
Breaker panel with lugs only can be had for $25
50A two pole breaker $10
30A single pole breaker and 20A single pole breaker $5 each
30ft of 50 RV shore cord $100..
