One or two generators?
I have two Yamaha EF2000iS generators, and they work together through the connecting cable. My question is; is it always necessary or desirable to have both generators running? I know I need them ...

You only need a 300w inverter for what you want. You can get a PSW if you need one for special items being charged, but a TV/dvd etc is good with MSW.
It should go close to the batteries to get the most out of it using short/fat DC wiring. You can just plug the shore power cable into it (with 30/15 adapter of course) and turn off (unplug) your converter, put fridge and WH on gas (not auto), and your receptacles will work just like on shore power.
TTs are a problem where the batteries are out front and you want the inverter in out of the rain and not get stolen. Some just put it in the front cargo bay and drill a hole in the floor to run the wires down to outside and then forward to the batteries on the tongue. Other solutions may be available in your rig, no idea.
MSW? PSW? Pardon my ignorance, but all things electronic is one of my weak suits.
Also, What exactly is the converter? I read the thick stack of manuals that came with my TT, and I remember having a power distribution center, or something. Hasn't given me any problems in over a year so I haven't worried about it. If this thing is what you are talking about, I'm pretty sure there is no obvious way to turn it off, certainly no way to unplug it.
I did figure out that I needed to run my WH and fridge on propane when I didn't have shore power.
