If all you want to do is recharge the batteries, 2kw is much more than you need. Heck, at the 55 amp/12 rate of most RV converter/charger units, that's a whopping 660 watts. Throw in 20% for inefficiencies, and an 800 watt continuous/900 watt surge generator would work fine.
I'm not familiar with that particular unit, but I've seen the ad, and it is an open-frame unit. Be aware that such a generator is going to be noisy, and if you take it out in the woods, it'll sound especially loud and annoy the heck out of your neighbors, even if they are only squirrels and birds.
