The power source is a power pole located at the back of the property. The RV uses a 30-amp breaker at the power source because of the microwave and roof-mounted AC. The breaker in the RV is also 30-amp for the air conditioner. This wire is to be buried.

Yes, and it should have a ground wire bundled with it.
10 gauge wire is for 30 Amp circuits.
100 ft. should not be a problem.

I ran an AC window unit for months on a hundred foot 10 gauge extension cord in Florida

I would go to 8/2 wground. That is a long distance and if you want to make popcorn with the ac on you'll probably trip the breaker

I would use 8/2 at 200 feet since it will be buried.
