Will generator run my unit
I got a 4000 watt generator that has two 115 plugs and each one is labeled 20amp. It also has a 240 plug that is also labeled 20 amp. I've read on here that a 4000 watt generator should run my trailer...

The two 20 amp 120 volt circuits cannot be combined. They will either give you 240 volts or short out and burn up the generator, depending on how you wired that.
A 4000 watt generator produces only 16-2/3 amps at 240 volts, which is why there is no 30 amp receptacle on it. The only way you can get a full 30 amps would be to spring for a 2:1, 240 volt to 120 volt step down transformer.
