The 110v heater in the fridge can be removed and tested. Not uncommon for the 110v H/W element to fail/short. I carry a spare ( bad water where I spend the winters) Part is about $20.Home Depot 1440/1500 watt 110v heater & buy a 1 1/2" six point 1/2' drive socket to replace the element, the " Tool " that they sell for changing these heaters will break trying to get the element out of a 13 year old heater ! Check your whole coach to make sure the A/C breaker is a dedicated circuit, if it is then I think you should consider replacing the breaker, every time a breaker trips it gets a little weaker. The breaker may not be the problem , but it would be the cheepest of all possible repairs. Good Luck. I am assuming that you are talking about the internal to the coach circuit breakers, and that your not hooked to your houshold 15 amp circuits, and just blowing that breaker.

Sounds like your A/C voltage is low. How and to what are you plugged in?
Plugging in in your driveway with an adapter and a light duty extension cored would do it. Is any part of your shore power hookup warm or hot?
Is your coach 30 or 50 amp service?
Dual roof AC is the main reason coaches went to 50 amp.
Just to be clear, the breaker that blows, is internal in the coach and not the post power breaker?
Most coaches with dual AC , run a staggered start system on the AC compressors to prevent overload, but if you are running a 50 amp coach on 30 amp shore power , you will have problems .
