How to charge a battery
I will have access to a 1000w generator while I am camping fora few days. Would just plugging in my trailer to it be good enough to charge the battery for a few hours, or should I put a charger direct...

Depends on the converter size in amps and how low the batteries are. A 1000w gen can only run maybe a 45 amp converter, and that is with no other 120v appliance in the trailer on. So put the WH and fridge to propane and no hair dryers.
If you have a bigger amp converter you can reduce its draw on the gen by charging when the batts are not so low and they accept fewer amps. If your converter has a Charge Wizard, you can set it to 13.6 at first until the batts are up some and then switch to 14.4 once the gen can take it.
The 6a charger is a waste of good gen gas.
What is a WH?
The only other things would be lights.
