thx again for all your thoughts !
Take the honda along at least the first few times (it costs nothing to take along), so you have a good option if your use is higher in reality. Just plug the trailer into the generator and let the onboard charger take care of it.
Reading comprehension isn't strong here. His connundrun is that he can't use the genny supposedly and this is a 1 time deal....a least from what I read.
The OP indicated he wasn't sure if they were strict about the generator usage...so you might work on the reading comprehension...sheesh
The honda plugged into the shore power cable will be faster and cheaper than driving the RV around using the trailer plug (running the honda while going down the road isn't a great idea). Worst case pull out, find a nearby place to park and let the honda run for an hour or so. You don't be at 100% but should be enough to buy 2-3 more days if the consumption estimate is correct.
OP: If you have an opportunity to do a dry run at home, put a meter in the circuit and see how much you really will use. This way if you missed something, it shows up in the consumption.
