main circuit breaker pops

We have a 2002 trailer with the original power converter (55A).* *It is PP Components Parallax 6300Q model.* When camping in warm weather, it tends to pop the main breaker now and again.* Have a Progressive EMS on the pole and it is not kicking any errors out.* The main issue is the when the A/C and microwave are both used the 30A main will pop.* The main and microwave are on the same paired breakers.* Probably not smart.* *

In any case, I put a 110V computer fan in front to add extra air flow.* This seems to help a bit but in REAL warm temps (triple digit) the main will blow with no issues at the pole.* Heat?* The converter is almost 20 years old.* Will buying a new converter solve these issues?* OR Should I find a new 30/15 and swap in the GFI circuit or similar next to the 30A and then get a 20/15A and move the microwave?* That won't fix the instances where the 30A blows with no microwave use.* Tips?
