What current draw are you seeing on your AC ammeters in the coach? I try to keep them below 42 amps / leg if I can since an AC starting up can temporarily pull enough extra amps to cause a weak pole breaker to trip. I also have 60 amp main breakers in my coach so they will try to pass more current than the 50 amp breakers the parks use.
Sometimes the park will have a breaker that has tripped a number of times and weakened to the point that they won't sustain even 40 amps / leg without tripping. Of course they will always blame you, I have had them blame it on running more than 2 AC's at one time, which is silly. If you have an electric water heat, 4 airs running and the inverter/charger recharging the batteries OR a residential refrigerator and don't have a power management system you can exceed the 50 amps / leg.
My money is still on a weak breaker on the park side. I have stayed in parks that I had to leave one AC off to keep from tripping their breaker which was in a large central power panel rather than located at the site where I could go out and reset it myself.
