Is your generator 2,000 running watts or 2,000 starting watts? Either way, that's a pretty low amount and I would think that you would need more. I have added a couple cut outs from the linked help article on generators which shows some of the common appliance power usage as well as how to determine exactly how much power your generator will need to be.
Should you need more power, as I suspect you likely will, there are a couple of good options that don't have to break the bank, depending... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Firman and he said that the 10,000 Watt Portable Generator # 333-H08051 has a total harmonic distortion of 25 percent, which is pretty standard for this type of generator.
For a "clean electricity" unit you will need to go with an inverter generator like the etrailer.com # 333-0003-2-0007. These 2 single generators can be ran parallel to provide 6,000 watts of starting power and 5,500 watts of running power. This is the highest rated inverter generator set... view full answer...
A 15k btu AC unit is going to pull up to 3,500 watts when starting up and then 1,800 watts when running. If this is all you'd basically be running then the etrailer.com generator part # 333-0005 would work well. You'd need to bypass your 1,000 watt inverter though since your AC pulls more than that.
If you plan to run several accessories in your RV you'd need to step up to the etrailer 6,000-Watt Portable Inverter Generator # 333-0003-2-0007 which can support 6,000 watts starting and... view full answer...
You can definitely use the 3,200-Watt # 333-0003 and the 2,000-Watt # 333-0001 with the Parallel Power Kit # 333-0007 so that you have 50A service for your AC units.
One thing to note though is that AC units are notorious for having sizable starting (surge) wattage needs. This generator combination has a starting (surge) power output of 4,900 watts and a running (rated) power output of 4,275 watts. As long as all of your power needs are under these ratings then you are good to go.

The etrailer.com and Firman brand generators are essentially the exact same thing just branded differently. The advantage to the etrailer brand is the price is going to be a bit lower. The advantage to the Firman brand is a life time warranty on parts when used in non-commercial applications. The etrailer warranty is 2 years on parts for non-commercial applications.

First, you are correct that the etrailer 4,500-Watt Portable Generator - 3,600 Running Watts - Propane or Gas # 333-0005 should only run on either 20 lb or 30 lb capacity propane tanks. In regards to run time on half power, we can only give an estimate but for a 20 lb tank running at half capacity it should give you in the neighborhood of 10 hours while a larger 30 lb tank should give you something in the range of 14 hours. That said, factors such as elevation can affect run times, and... view full answer...
The difference between a generator that has an inverter, like part # 333-0003, and a generator that doesn't have an inverter, like part # 333-0004, is that the inverter makes it so that the generator can supply power for both AC and DC applications. Generators without the inverter can only supply AC power (like for typical household use). The inverter generators also tend to provide cleaner power and are a little lighter as well.
The generators with built-in inverters are extremely useful... view full answer...
The 6,000-Watt Portable RV Inverter Generators part # 333-0002-2-0007 are not offered with dual fuel as with most inverter generators.

The etrailer 2,000-Watt Portable Inverter Generator # 333-0001 could power a smaller 13.5 btu AC unit if it had a start capacitor like the Advent part # ACM135CH but most AC units require more watts than what this can put out upon start up. The start capacitor of this allows it to draw 1,450 watts on start up and when running whereas the Atwood # AT15025-21 draws 3,795 watts on startup and then 1,265 watts once running as it does not have a capacitor.

There are some generators that need to be grounded to function. For example the A-iPower 3,800-Watt Portable Inverter Generators part # 289-SUA2000i-2 would need to be grounded using the bolt/nut on the face. I have attached photo of what that looks like. There is not an adapter to ground them but you would most likely need to ground it with an included wire or like the photo shows.
