If the connecting cord from truck to trailer becomes damaged while the generator is running, there is the possibility of energizing the metal of the towing vehicle. Besides damage to the vehicle, there exists the potential for shock/electrocution.
Not that big a deal to run a generator in the bed of a pickup with the trailer plugged into it while towing. Many have done it. Easy to monitor and dogs will be cool. Get a big enough generator. 3500 watts is a great match for the trailer you mentioned.
