My 23' had the (in my opinion) best solution to the '30 amps might not be sufficient' conundrum. Beside the breaker box was a toggle switch. Water heater up, air conditioner down. Never blew the pole breaker with it. No thought required. First morning out, there's still enough hot water for the dishes. For supper, swap to the water heater for half an hour, then back to the A/c, samesame in the morning.
I cured this when the 40 y/o switches began to disintegrate by putting in the 7500Watt heathen chinee genset and wiring the coach panel for 50 amps 120 or 220 depending on the outlet it's plugged into. It has an 'either or' breaker to select genset or shore power in lieu of the original (marginal) 30 amp toggle.
