Generator questions
I'll be taking out my travel trailer this summer and I'm a new rv'er. I have a 2017 Cherokee with two batteries. I'll be going "dry" camping for up to 5 days at a time. Will a Honda 1000 generator be ...

You can find the specs here. Max out put is about 8 amps, so running it an hour will put about 8 amp-hours (at most) back in your battery.
If you are conservative, you won't use much electricity at all. Water pump, a few electronics, LED lights, and your consumption is very low. Charge your phones, etc in your tow vehicle while out sight-seeing.
You should be able to go a long time on 2 batteries, with a little boost from this generator occasionally.
Now it won't work if you are trying to run a microwave, coffeemaker, hair dryer, etc off an inverter. Those things suck batteries down fast.
