PT, under trees where solar doesn't work, doubling the solar won't help.
Doubling the gen would help as you say. OP can get a second 1000 and parallel them to run a bigger amp charger/converter. If his rig has a 55 amp converter that can do 14.x, that single 1000w gen won't run it.
How do I figure out what OEM converter I have?
I'm suspecting my generator doesn't run it, in retrospect, from experience.
Find the "power centre" and read the label on it for the converter model. Eg WFCO 8955 or PD4655 or whatever, then we can link you to its specifications.
Note that you can go to private parks for hook ups every so often to recharge the batts too. (and laundry etc) You can pay for quite a few nights at a private park with full hook-ups for the cost of a bunch of solar and bigger generators. Also you can often get in them in the summer without reservations, unlike the parks where you need to book by Xmas for next July or whatever it is like now :( Summer camping in the parks is crazy busy here! May and September much better.
