I never found many public places here on the East side of the US to even run my 2KW Generator for any length of time. Most of the times are a couple of hours in the morning and maybe three hours in the early evening. Never after 8PM... Seems like most every place we go has generator run time restrictions in place. Not many public dispersed camping sites on the East side as wellas well...
I use the pedestal 20A Service all the time to run additional things along with the pedestal 30A service at the public campgrounds...
Keep in mind you will only get 120VAC at around 26AMPS using two 2KW generators setup in parallel. The two 50AMP 120VAC zones in your 50A trailer won't be doing much with just 26AMPS being available to use.
With all of this in mind we do alot of camping off the power grid with our OFF-ROAD POPUP camper running everything off our beefed up battery banks and only use our 2KW Honda Generator to re-charge our batteries each morning when allowed to run the generator...
