Hi Doug,
I believe what you are saying is pretty much the same as what I am saying--except that I used watts rather than amps. I did make the assumption that the OP would realize he can not run the microwave and the roof air at the same time at those sort of ambient temperatures.
Is there a reason to run the Air Conditioner on high fan only as opposed to just turning it off?

At those temperatures my Dometic 13500 draws 1900 watts. Add the fridge (325 watts) and the microwave (1570 watts in my case) and the total is far more than 3600 watts
The OP's problem has to do with 115 temps. That means his roof AC is drawing 2 amps MORE than spec. Odds are his roof AC HI COOL is about 14 amps add 2 to 16 amps and other small amp draws(refer 3 amps) and then his M/W kicks in at average 10 to 11 amps and he goes over the 30 amp main breaker threshold. So, he needs to run the AC on Hi Fan only when operating the M/W. Then go back to Hi Cool after cooking. Doug
