What kind of gen should I shop for?
We just bought a new fifth wheel and it feels like starting over again. We've only ever owned toy haulers that are already prepped for dry camping with onboard generators and fuel tanks.
So my ques...

2 aircon is the challenge with a portable unless you want to go big or start paralleling multiple units.
How often will you really need to run both on generator power? If it's rare, I would go with something like the Champion 4500w dual fuel (honda/yamaha are way too expensive for what they are). I would fabricate a simple mount to put it on the pin box with a removable box to protect it from weather and eyes. It's borderline but if you shut everything else down, it might start both (once running it should be fine).
I would run it on LP. Unless you are religious about draining and cleaning the carb, it will gunk up unless using it constantly. LP avoids that issue. I keep a couple 20# propane tanks in the truck bed (easy to swap or fill depending what's available) and I could hook into one of the 30# onboard tanks in a pinch.
