Start with basics first before jumping into a lot of fixes based on guesses.
First, what are you plugged into at “storage unit”? Some storage units only provide 15A service to keep batteries charged. Also, your power may be shared with other users. Can you confirm nothing else (like another motorhome) is plugged into same breaker circuit.
You mention not using a lot of power in your coach. What exactly do you have on? Sounds like refrigerator and battery charger (converter) but are you certain that you don’t have water heater on, or trying to run an A/C, etc. Water heater on electric are often easy to forget, and they draw a lot of power.
Please provide more specific information so you don’t end up wasting time and money. You may just be overloading a breaker. In my opinion it’s hard to say with information you provided.
