If the TT wasn't in the storage yard all wrapped for safe keeping for the winter I would go check it out. But I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts the breaker ain't more than 20 amps.
According to Champion a 3100i will handle a 13.5K and a 3400i will run a 15K A/C. So for those two models of generator, I would be tempted to follow the manufacturer's advice.

When my women start running their morning grooming and breakfast appliances it is usually a tossup whether the 30 amp breaker in the RV or the 30 amp breaker at the power post is the first to go. They blow breakers in my house too, usually too much on a branch circuit, as in trying to blow dry under the heat lamps.

How big of a generator do I need to run my 15K BTU air conditioner? Assuming I may also be running a coffee pot or microwave at the same time.
