Cutting off your converter will also kill your 12VDC inside your trailer so those items will have to run from your charged up connected battery. You will need some 12VDC power to keep a few things running inside the trailer... Ceiling lights is one item you will probably want to have working which only runs from 12VDC coming from the Converter or the Battery.
I have played the game of powering down everything I could to get my EU2000i Honda to start my air conditioner. I Usually can get it started with everything else turned off and playing games with running the A/C fan first etc but as soon as it cycles on/off after getting things cooler inside it dies on me when it wants to start up again.
The on-board converter/charger unit is usually the first 15AMP circuit breaker just below the MAIN 30AMP breaker in the 120VAC Circuit Breaker Panel...
We would bring along a 8000BTU Home Window unit with us if this was an extended stay camping off the power grid. My 2KW Honda runs this air conditioner just fine. The regular trailer with hard walls will not support a permanent mount in the window but after you setup it would work out ok. We just sit the a/c in the floor of our POPUP trailer when in transport mode. and place it in the unused tent bed area sticking out the side window flap. Worked good for us cooling things down a bit running off the generator.
If my roof air conditioner ever needs replaced I will get a 9,500 BTU size replacement roof mounted unit. Those will work just fine with the 2KW Honda EU2000i generator as well. We don't use the A/C all that much in our OFF-ROAD POPUP setup anyway as most of the time we are sitting in well shaded woods camp site anyway. FANS work great in there for us...
