Have you checked location of probe for return air? Remove filters and find probe to make sure it is about in the middle of flow of return air. Let me know what you find.
You can use Dometic Brisk Air II model for your RV. It has 13,500 BTU capacity. I used this air conditioning unit for last 2 years on my RV truck. If you want to know more about this unit, you can check this link. https://coolingmyrv.com/
According to specs, they will take a 44 amp AC power surge. Obviously number and type of batteries as well as battery condition , etc, plugged in, not plugged in to outside hydro, or generator all come in to play here, but a 15,000 BTU roof AC will only draw, 15-17Amps AC when compressor kicking in, ( or less on some new models) and should level out at 12 -13 amp draw after. As well, this will depend on proper wiring to and from main panel as well as AC unit, and incoming voltage, AC unit condition ( cleaned and maintained properly) etc.
The limiting factor is the power available to run the device. Typically, roof air units are around 12,000 BTU.
Unless your rig is wired with a 50 amp service, you will not be able to run more than you have at the present with your 30 amp service. I have found that a rig with a microwave, a roof AC and a TV frequently cannot run all three at the same time. If you do have 50 amp service, you can add the second roof air. Also, if you have a 30 amp service, you can upgrade to 50 but that is an expensive proposition with the cord itself costing around $200.00. You would also have to upgrade the distribution panel and probably have a pro properly split up the load between the two 120 Volt AC buss'.
I hope this response helps you with your deliberation and thanks for your question @ FixYa.com
Check the filters and make sure the coils are clean first. Then make sure both fans are running, the evaporator fan and condenser fan. If all of that is ok then you need to get the refrigerant charge checked.

You must have too many things running on that circuit. Check your connection to the power box.Loose connection on the receptacle can cause the breaker to trip or too many things running on the same circuit. If the breaker is old it might need to be replaced.
