I have run the water heater, A/C and microwave on 30 amp at the same time at most campgrounds. It's only when my wife adds the hair dryer to the mix that I pop the breaker :S

Operating water heater electric element and AC on a fifty amp shore power is no problem. Operating it on a thirty amp can be more then what it can handle with addition 120 volt loads such as converter, and microwave.
Well, if you want to include the microwave, you are correct. I have to turn something off to use it. However, I have no problem with running the water heater, A/C and converter at the same time on 30 Amps.

Bad ground wiring causing the neutrals to over heat?
Hopefully they told you where this is or was.

We haven't heard back from OP on whether the rig is 30 or 50 amp.
We are just guessing as to what the problem is.

These wires should never melt unless poorly installed.
Everything is protected with a circuit breaker to prevent overload.

You should not be operating the 120 volt water heater element and AC unit at the same time.
