Question:
I want to install an ac on my 24inch enclosed, and run straight from my Honda 2000 generator. What else will I need? Is this the best kit for my application?

The Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System - Single Zone - 15,000 Btu - White # FR55PV is going to require approximately 3500 watts to start and 1580 watts to run so you would need a larger generator to power your system. I recommend the 4,500-Watt Portable RV Generator - 3,600 Running Watts - Propane or Gas - Electric Start
Item # 333-0005. You'll also need a 12v connection to the thermostat and air distribution box.
Since you're installing this on an enclosed trailer instead of a traditional RV you'll need to reinforce the roof to be 3.5" thick otherwise the unit will freeze up and not function properly.
