It doesn't sound like it has anything to do with the generator. It will probably be the same on shore power. It sounds like the entire trailer's AC power is wired thru the inverter.

However, this means installing an additional breaker panel and changing around a lot of wires which drives up the cost. I suspect whoever installed yours took the easy quick way of running everything thru the inverter. You will always have this problem if that is the case.
However, there are lots and lots of ways this could be wired. Without knowing the inverter model number and seeing the wiring it's really hard to be certain.
