I would install a cheap 120VAC meter movement inside the trailer somewhere where you can sort of keep an eye on the 120VAC levels when running your generator.
This 120VAC meter is perfect for me to watch my line voltage with. With the GREEN scale shown I can tell at a glance I am within the voltage level good enough to not do any harm with the air conditioner running to close to the limits to be dangerous.
Just plug it in to a 120VAC receptacle somewhere where you can get a glance at it once in awhile.
