Depending on your trailer's converter and the state of your battery when you fire up the genny, the converter will suck 700-1100 watts all by itself trying to recharge your battery, leaving very little capacity for the microwave.
If you try to run the microwave less than 3-4 hours after starting the genny, this alone could be the source of your problem. Don't forget that there are also continuous draws for the 'fridge control board, the converter circuits themselves, and water heater/furnace control boards if they are turned on.
If your battery is fully charged, ie 90-100% full, a 2000 watt genny is plenty to also run the microwave. It might also start and run your AC, if you are lucky.
