30 vs 20 Amp Circuit Breaker for AC unit

So... during a trip over the summer we had issues with our AC unit keeping up with the 117 degree weather. As noted in a different post, our unit died all together and had a new unit installed.

The tech who did the work, according to him, was told by Coleman that since the extreme heat conditions was also causing the 20amp circuit breaker to trip, to switch the AC unit over to the 30amp breaker and move the main for the coach to the 20amp breaker...

I am going to switch the breakers back to the way they originally were, but my question is, if what the tech/Coleman said is true, would it make sense to replace the 20amp AC breaker with a 30amp one? Or am I just asking for trouble...
