In order to connect a generator to a camper you would need a dogbone adapter with a female plug that matches the camper and a male plug that matches the generator. For example, the A-iPower 2,000-Watt Portable Inverter Generator part # 289-SUA2000I has a 30 amp female receptacle and your camper has a 50 amp male receptacle therefore the correct adapter for you would be the Mighty Cord Generator Adapter part # A10-G30450VP.
We currently do not carry Honda generators therefore I would not be able to confirm which receptacle they have but if you can confirm this with the owner's manual for the generator, I would be more than happy to make sure you get the correct adapter. With that being said most generations accept a male 30 amp twist lock connector therefore the above adapter should work well for you though you will need to confirm beforehand.
I have attached a review video of both the adapter and generator should you be open to other solutions.
