Many homes these days have a 200 amp main service. Might want to call an
electrician and see what your best or least expensive option is. A possible
option is to install a 200 amp main panel "out back" with a 100 amp breaker
to your home and a new/separate breaker and line from there to your air
conditioner unit.
If there is only a 100 amp line to the panel out back, then this could get
to be quite expensive depending on the situation with who owns what in the
park.
The least expensive option is to not run the dryer when the air conditioning
is running. Like in the morning.
