Don't buy a loud generator designed for powering tools. They are loud and obnoxious. Consider adding a 100 watt solar panel. You will have a quiet energy source. Can be cheaper than a genny if you already have a converter in your trailer. Also unless you buy a "sine wave" generator you don't want to use any sensitive equipment on it like a computer.
All generators produce sine waves: some (inverter generators) by electronic means, others (non-inverter generators) by the physics of rotating a coil in a magnetic field at a constant speed. Granted, some of these sine waves may be noisier or otherwise less perfect than others, but there's no reason to avoid plugging any computers or other equipment into any properly-functioning generator of sufficient power to operate them.
