I ended up with a yamaha 2400 Light weight good with fuel and does what I need. Thanx for the input everyone Scott..
To know what size generator you'll need, just take the max amps the trailer uses and multiply by 110 or 120. For example the LM needs 50 amps x 110 =5500 Watts, or 30 amps x 110 = 3300 Watts. The 2000 watt units only deliver 16-18 amps, so you are trying to run a trailer on a single home outlet, it ain't going to work.
The Landmark is 50 amps at 240 volt, which is 12,000 watts . I have an Onan 6500 watt and it will power (and start) both a/c units with power to spare. I wouldn't want anything smaller now that we have used it.

Newbie: the Trailer have no 240 volt service. although the 50 Amp service is capable of 240, the wiring is done so it has 2 line of 110/120 service. every thing is wired from common to either the +120 or the -120 line. Nothing is wired from +120 to -120. If you accidentilly plug into a plug that is wired wrong and get 240 into the trailer, it will fry most if not all of the appliances.
The factory 5500 watt Onan is also capable if starting both A/C's and running the convection oven plus some. The 6500 would be a good choice to have plenty of extra power, but 12,000 watts is not necessary.
