No different than in your house where most circuits are rated for 15 amp service ... ensure only one high draw device is running on any given 15 amp service.

The next step up from 30 amp service is 50 amp which in fact is 50 amps per leg across 2 legs - BIG difference, 3600 watts vs 12,000 watts. Here in Canada 50 amp service is much less common than in the US, usually only found in private parks and rarely in provincial parks, national parks, conservation areas, etc. In other words, much more limited choices when selecting a site if you insist on 50 amp service and at the end of the day one would often be limited to a maximum 30 amp draw anyway regardless of whether the rig itself is wired with 50 amp service.

OMG, a 1440W restrictive heating element it's 12A continuous!! How could you run that king of power from a 15A circuit with something else running?

I am not that much a RV specialist, however in everyday's life, I am a skilled computer/electronic technician so I surely have a good skill in general electricity and at this point I can't understand why the hell somebody put a 30A service on that size of travel trailer with that kind of equipment. It's a non-sense to me! I don't think his camper have any defect anywhere, I just think it's overloaded from the factory.

You didn't say if it was the main 30 amp breaker or one of the other ones. What is the incoming voltage? You could upgrade to a 50 amp and then forgo a huge number of campsites that have only 30 amp. Your water heater heater has a 1,440 or 1,500 watt element.

I'm goona suggest. It is the outside fridge that is kicking your breaker. IF you can. When you setup. Run cord from the 20V on the electric box to the fridg.
and do know. When I turn on the hair dryer. I turn off the AC while I dry my hair.

Also, if the batteries are low when you plug in, the charger will draw a good bit of the available amperage.
