Generator use...
Is the best way to use a Honda 1000 generator to just plug the trailer cord into it? Or, should I use a battery charger and go directly to the battery? Would the answer be the same for a Honda E...

The critical numbers in the specs you posted for your converter are 12a AC input and 55a DC output. A EU 1000 will NOT power that converter.

In the event he has a WFCO 8955 that never gets into bulk charge mode, yes, in that particular circumstance only, the Honda EU1000i will run that charge controller, because it rarely, if ever gets into bulk charge mode or bulk charge voltage, it is stuck in absorption or float modes and voltages/amps. Which is why those folks camping without hookups come here and ask questions. Most units are not set up for the type of battery charging requirements needed to go dry camping or boondocking, where generator run time being minimized is the goal, while quickly charging the batteries back up.
That requires a more fully functional 3 or 4 stage battery charger that actually has all functions working correctly.
