New trailer, new generator?

Hi, we just upgraded our TT from a 21' to a 28', we currently have a 2000 (1800 running) Yamaha inverter generator. I have a feeling that this little gennie won't supply enough power to run the new bigger trailer, what wattage would be recommended for the larger trailer?

Thanks
Brian

...and adequate batteries, time.

Still run into RVers who think solar doesnโ€™t really work.

If you arenโ€™t running the air conditioner, your generator will be just fine. Solar is easier but old generator will do it.
