We have a heritage glen 356QBQ and our site breaker keeps popping. Our rig has 2 air units but we've only been running one since we've only got a 30amp site. I've also shut the water heater switch off and even with no lights on it still keeps setting it off.
We are set up at a permanent site for the summer and visit on weekends. So the rig is hooked up 24/7 and we run the main air unit on about 78 with everything else off while we're gone. The main kitchen fridge/freezer and camper lights appear to remain working. But the microwave, outdoor kitchen fridge and air do not.
I can't figure out if it's an issue with the site power or with our rig? Last time we were at the site it happened 5 or 6 times in about four hours and when I stopped to grab something we forgot a couple days later it was out again. I'm worried it's going to end up burning something up if we don't figured it out.
Sounds like it's the campsites electrical problem. You should be able to run 1 AC on 30a and some other stuff, but you need to be aware running both fridges, heater, AC, lights etc, may be too much for 30a alone. You may need to give and take depending on what's running.

If you do not have one I suggest you get one, be it built in or portable like mine.
It might have found the problem before you got all set up and allowed them to fix it or move you to another spot.

Any ideas?

The pedestal 30 amp breaker is "weak" and will get worse with time. Only fix- have it changed out. The 2nd list of loads you mentioned are all 12VDC from your battery when the breaker trips. Its a 5 minute job for them.
