We had a similar 30 amp circuit breaker issue when attempting to operate a small electric heater and the microwave. I solved that by purchasing a heavy duty extension cord, connecting it to the power pedistal (most campground power posts have a separate 120 volt double outlet) and ran the female end of the cord up between the vinyl flap by the entry door. That is where we plug in the small electric heater (no more circuit trips). You might consider not using the heat strip in the air conditioner which will also help to reduce circuit tripping.

Pool noodles can be hard to find this time of the year. Instead, we use the black pipe insulation, available at any hardware store.

Rather than an electric blanket, we opted for a heated mattress pad. They generally do not draw a lot of power and have never caused the 30 amp breaker to trip.
