Best Generator size for small (23') Travel Trailer

We just got a smaller 23' travel trailer and will be doing mostly dry camping as we have camped all over Alaska in our truck and camper for years but have just got too old to climb up and down into it...

Went camping with the kids a few months ago and they invited another family along. They had a small lightweight 5th wheel and he was powering it with a 1000 watt generator. Suddenly, they smelled/saw smoke. It fried their battery converter charge....just didn't produce enough amps.

The Honda or Yamaha 2000 would be a great choice. For the last couple of months, Costco has been selling the Yamaha 2000 branded with another name, I think Century, for about $500.00. A GREAT price.
