yankeeslover,
Congratulations on your new trailer.
Yes, a generator is one way to run the TV and coffee maker. Another is solar and more batteries, combined with using your propane stove to make the coffee (like in the old days......).
Since you only anticipate dry camping about 10% of the time, does it really make sense to pay $1000 (or more if you go solar) just for TV and coffee maker use on those rare nights? Of course, only you can make that decision.
If you do get a generator, I suspect that you (and your neighbors) would be happiest with a low noise unit such as Honda or Yamaha. The Honda 2000 watt inverter generator is very popular and will run your outlets (not the Air Conditioner though) with enough power to spare to charge the battery. However they are not cheap at about $1000 each.
Have fun and remember, it's just camping.
