Hi,
Simply plug the shore power cord into the generator. If you MUST have a generator, acquire one with remote electric start. Then most of your power can come from solar and an inverter.
I've run my generator less than 10 hours per month in the last year. I wish I had gone massive solar instead.
It is not that you can't run the roof air. It is that you may not be able to run it for very long.

I'd considered a portable generator, and am still mulling it over. Since this would be situated outside the RV, though, I'd need a long extension cord for things like a toaster, TV, coffee maker... yes?
