If a newbie decides to move wires around in the panel and puts too much load on one leg that is exactly what will happen. You need to tell them how to balance a panel! They also need to know that there is 240 volts present in that panel. Not just 2 120 volt legs.
My Coach and all the larger class A's have load management systems that unload in the event the max is possible and prevent the trip
