If you are in an area where you can't run generator full time... With the run time restrictions what about a bank of batteries that can be charged up using the Generator. Then, by using an inverter you could run a fan or small appliances. At least a fan could help with cooling without A/C. Is this possible?

On paper, I like the Yamahas that have the burst capability. They use juice from the starter battery for about 10 or 15 seconds to help with starting the A/C. No less than 3000w, IMO. I'm also a fan of the inverter-style generators, both for noise as well as economy.

I agree with what's said about the Yamaha. It's relatively heavy @ 154 pounds--20 pounds heavier than the Honda EU3000. Both have wheels, however. With a ramp and a "come a long", it'd be relatively easy to get them into and out of the basement of a fifth wheel trailer.
Many generators are in the back of a pickup truck bed and linked by heavy extension cord. My wife wouldn't like me cutting off her a/c and electricity when I drove to the grocery.
Another option would be to add a receiver hitch to the rear of a travel trailer/fifth wheel trailer and use a flat rack. Generators can be mounted in an aluminum flip top tool chest (from a pickup truck) and run with the top up. They can also be secured with locks.
