A trailer designed to install and use a RV genset would be easier than trying to work out a location to install generator on a RV not so equipped, and providing ad hoc electrical connections and fuel supply.
Northwood makes some generator-ready models in their Arctic Fox line. Several lines of fifth-wheels, particularly toy haulers.
For a trailer, fuel supply is most likely LPG. A generator large enough to reliably power your RV air conditioner will go through about 3-4 pounds of fuel per hour, whether that is gasoline or LPG. Keeping up with fuel needs could be your most pressing problem keeping air conditioning running. In motorhomes, this is usually managed by tapping the large fuel supply for the engine that moves the RV.
