A 5500 watt generator that outputs it's rated wattage will have little difficulty running the entire rig in your profile. Most RVs with a single AC come specked from the factory with a 4000 watt onboard genny, RVs with 2 AC units normally come with a 5500 watt version. Heck, even a high quality 3000 watt portable inverter genny outputting rated wattage will run the items you listed, at least that is what I've experienced.
As mentioned above, you have about 45 amps to utilize, which if coach has been properly wired should easily power a single AC unit, laptops, TVs, even a microwave oven at the same time. Most onboard generators with such low hours usually will require some TLC since they were severely under-used, our 9 year old Onan has nearly a thousand hours and purrs along powering our rig as if plugged into shore power.
