I think that there is to much power being drawn off the shore power breaker


there is a fridge outside and a tv xbox on an outlet on the outside of r.v

Ok, pull out the unit and check the connections.. make sure nothings getting hot and causing it to trip the breaker.

After that its gonna start costing ya money, you'll have to replace the breaker. It could be old? if its old or has been tripped alot of times it could be weaker and losing power.
Dont buy a high amp breaker! buy one thats the exact same as the one you have.. the one thats in there now is made to go with the wiring thats in the r.v, if yu buy a bigger amp breaker than you could cause a fire. Next thing to do is take your a/c unit out and take it to get a service done, it could be old or faulty.

well i already f***ing told you to unplug everything and just let the dumb a/c unit run by its self and see if it trips the breaker.
You said it was just a t.v and xbox, now you have a fridge plugging in too??? just unplug everything and run the a/c and see if it still trips
If it dosent trip, than you;ll have to ask the r.v park admin to see if they have a better shore power that you can hook into.

Im also thinking that the other guy that wired it wired it backwards for d/c instead of a/c

Well thats all i can tell ya, just make sure you kick him in the nuts if he did wire it backwards.
And if you think he did wire it backwards, i would just keep it shut off untill you figure it out.

Edit/ i would keep it shut off anyway.. its just gonna ruin your breaker (that is if its not fucked already)
