You must have one heck of a big fridge. Mine draws 305 watts or about 2.5 amps in 120 volt mode. The water heater draws about 9.6 amps.
These are average amps used from the article referenced on the KOA website. No, mine is average size. Your fridge is good. Still, with your AC, fridge, electric water heater, and a TV, you are almost maxed out if your breaker trips at 30 amps. If someone really wants everything going at once, they really need an RV with 50 amp service.
The AC breaker is the one tripping. Also, the ground fault breaker in main living area (near couch) tripps all the time. I will look at more closley and update. I have to get some warranty work done (probably right after Thanksgiving) and I will have them check it out. Thanks.

All the breakers are AC, which one? 30A, the main breaker, or one of the 15 Amp breakers?

It happens on 50 amp coaches also. They are all on the edge of maxed out also, and have to think before they plug something else in too.

Every TT we have owned (three) has been 30 amp service. In all cases we could run A/C OR microwave OR electric water heater OR electric heater on high OR hairdrier (if over 1000 watts). Bet it is normal.
To look for low voltage, just measure it inside TT. If lower than 110 VAC be sure to turn off A/C to prevent damage. We carry a Hughes autoformer to correct for low voltage in campgrounds.

On our rig if the park power is good (IE: if we are showing 120 volts) we can run A/C and Microwave at the same time, Heck, I've run 2 A/C's on 30 amps and the breaker held.
On the other hand if park power is bad (Say 110) no such joy.
NOTE: Those readings are with the A/C running and cooling.
Where I'm at now A/C off, light load 118 volts per the inverter monitor display.
Turn on the A/C and I'm doing good to hold 110.
Turn on the microwave and just before the breaker tripps the voltage will drop to a level where the autoformer kicks in and boosts it, This also boosts the current draw, and trips the breaker.

This happend to us as well. It was our first trip in the new TT, and the first time we had an elecrtic water heater. First the 30A breaker on the CG pole kept tripping. SO. I bought a adapter, and started running the TT off the 50A pole. So then the breaker in the TT started tripping. We were also running a fridge on the outside too. SO, I plugged into the 30A CG breakers, and started running all the outside power from it. My tripping pretty much stopped. But I still had to turn off the AC to run the hair dryer, and microwave at the same time.
