The circuit breaker problem is not a GS defect. (I don't work for them & am often an outspoken critic). The 30 amp circuit is the problem, & very likely low voltage supplied by the campground. As frustrating as it is, what you're describing is normal. What I suggested is about the only way around it
-> run your generator,
-> start your engine & use it's A/C unit while cooking,
-> purchase the Camping World electrical adaptor:

Also known as Camping World cat item #25774

-> set the A/C fan to "ON" to prevent cycling
-> set the A/C temp to very cold to prevent cycling

Also, note what other appliances are on while you're cooking. The coffee pot? TV's? Unneccesary lights? Electeric water heater? Inverter? Converter? Remember, you only have 30 amps (3450 watts) available. The microwave uses all of 1500 watts, either A/C uses most of its 1725 watt allotment. That leaves 225 watts (2 amps) to run a 3 amp TV, a couple amps for lights, a couple amps for the converter that you don't even know is running to keep a charge on your house batteries.

IE: it's nearly impossible.

You are so right on the other major annoyances. Jacks that won't go down, or randomly retract, are serious. Do you have your parking brake firmly applied? Have you checked the hydraulic fluid level? On the jack controller, does the red indicator lamp glow for each jack as soon as it begins to extend? Do they ALL go out when the jacks fully retract? They must never come on while you are traveling.

Oh yeah, our table creeps also. ->bungie cord

What else? Perhaps we can help you accept & eventually see all the good points of your coach without the distraction of the nusances'.
