On a side note my boyfriend is an electrician we can upgrade to bump up to a 30 or 50 amp but it takes time and money so we are saving up for one project at a time and the conversion for the RV lower on the list

The issue is that RV manufacturers gang to many circuits into one breaker because it is cheaper. Less wire and fewer breakers. My Thor ACE gangs AC, microwave, and some other circuits together. A single 20 amp breaker is not going to handle AC and microwave at once. I plan to rewire my AC unit to it's own 20 amp breaker to avoid this. If the microwave continues to kick the breaker after this separation I will also give it it's own breaker. If you plan to run electric heaters you may choose to run a dedicated circuit for that if you should have the same issue. As another blogger replied, same problems with a 50 amp service. It's not the service it's taxing single breakers by ganging too many circuits to that single breaker.
