Ok a few things.
You really need another battery. One doesn't cut it very well for most RVers. It's very common for RVers to use a Dual 6volt battery setup. One of the best resources is a site called The 12volt Side of Life I highly recommend book marking it and taking the time to read it over in detail, you will learn a lot. I've used it as a resource well over 10 years now.
Your converter/charger like most RVs is unusually the cheapest they can buy. It won't charge your battery very fast, but it's better then nothing. Progressive Dynamics is one that makes some better units that can rapid charge a battery. Progressive Dynamics
Many generators come with cables you can attach to the battery, in this case you want to remove one of the leads and just let it run charging the battery directly. Your Honda 1000 may or may not have this option, but it's work looking into, but it's a hassle.
Finally, do you charge your battery at home? Is it always plugged in, are you checking the water level? Is your truck setup to charge while towing? Many are able but don't always have the required fuse or breaker installed from the factory.
