Tripping breakers

I had the pedestal breaker trip July 5th while plugged into a 30amp service. Went out to check it and the cord was pretty hot. Then I remembered I had the water heater on as well as A/C. We had both showered just before it happened and also the sun was beating down hard on the pedestal making it very warm also. Ambient temp's will effect the tripping point of c/b's as they trip on thermal temps caused by current draw as well as direct short. Just reduce total load to under 24amps when plugged into 30amp service.

One detail to think about, your converter could at times pull 8 amps or more depending on batter charging or how many lights etc. You have on.

The fridge and hot water heater has been on gas since last night and no trouble

CG pedestal 30A breaker tripping......correct?

You have control of how much load you use......limit your 120V AC load.

Put your fridge and water heater on propane. Simple.

I upgraded my RV to 50 amps. It required a bit of work but it is not difficult. I did run new circuits/outlets for the Microwave and a dedicated one for the coffee maker (priorities). This leg also has receptacles into the bedroom, 2nd A/C.

Original 30 Amp side of RV is on the other leg.

I was lucky in that I have a friend that is a licensed Master Electrician with years of experience and is very knowledgeable. He reviewed my one-line drawings, loads, and my wire schedules.

I did over size all of my wiring. I would rather spend money on the individual components that easily handle the potential maximum voltage and amps and stay cool.

Anyways, even with 50 amps I have to consider loads on the system. When it is hot and both A/C's and fans are going. Fridge is on electric, HWH is on gas.

I monitor the temps on my circuit breakers and the HWH needs to be on gas with all of the other equipment and entertainment running. I do keep the lighting to the minimum due to personal preference. Besides with a TV on it throws a lot of light.

50 amps means a lot more convenience, but you still need to be aware and monitor your loading/demand. If pulling from a 30 amp pedestal you are back to the original load management scheme. One A/C, Fridge and HWH on gas, etc.

With TV on, Microwave use, lights on, A/C on, coffee maker, you stand a good chance of tripping the breakers.

Are any of the breakers hot to touch? Breakers do wear out.

Have switched the water heater to propane as several have suggested?

The pedestal was reading 120 volts. I only have 30 and 20 amps at the pedestal.

I just had the same problem. I forgot to turn the hot water heater over to gas.Tripped the breaker twice. No problem since I went to gas.

I'm assuming that you are currently camping on the busiest weekend of the summer and depending where you are the hottest. The campground's grid may not be up to the task of a full campground and the electrical demands. I would first see what the voltage is at the pedestal.
When voltage goes down amps go up. Buy an adapter and plug into the 50 amp outlet. That is what we did one 4th of July weekend in Texas, no more tripped breakers after that.
