A trailer we are considering is pre-wired for two A/C units, but it only has one. It is listed as 50 amp.

Would this mean that there is more amperage available for general use?

For example, in our 30 amp trailer we cannot run the A/C and the microwave at the same time if the electric water heater is on.

Would a 50 amp allow that for example?

Is 50 amp service really an advantage over 30 amp?

If the trailer is a 50a system, and if 50a is available at the campsite you are in, then yes, you will have more amps to run more appliances at the same time.
