I would assume you are using an extension cord to power the trailer? If so what is the length and gauge of the cord? There is a good chance the voltage dropping across the length of the cord is causing the A/C to pull more current and thus tripping the breaker when other items are used. Even if you have installed a 30 amp pedestal, that installation could prevent you getting a full thirty amps at 120V depending on the wiring and length from the house breaker box.
Measure your voltage at other outlets when the A/C and Microwave are running and see what your voltage is. I would guess it is dropping below 110V.
