I would suggest you contact the trailer manufacturer and obtain the model number or numbers of the unit(s) originally installed in your trailer. These would fit for sure and should be the easiest to install and be expected to give good service.

If you have ac in your trailer you need a 3000 watt or more. I would reccomend to you a honda eu3000 super quiet. It lives up to the name, you can just throw it in th eback of your truck and lock it down, When you get to where your camping just plug it in and it has keystart.

I'm looking at doing this myself, found some good quiet gas units on Ebay just not sure what I would do about a gas tank, I'd rather have propane. If it's a RV style gen (in it's own box) I'll put it in the front storage compartment of the fifth wheel, A 4KW will fit in there nicely

Before you put that unit in the front storage compartment be sure to consider the air flow, generators produce a lot of heat, and exhaust gas disposal issues. Proper sound deadening and fire continment may also be difficult.
I kind of like Mr Zeeedler's idea of throwing a Honda in the back of the truck if you have one. If your pulling with a van I still like the idea of a seperate generator that you can chain to the RV and have it away from the storage area when it is running.

I put my Honda on the back of my trailer or in the bed of my truck, like you and Zeedler mentioned. But, if I could, I'd prefer to have the generator in a compartment on the trailer. Always there, don't have to worry about another thing to pack or make room for. Plus, the convenience of pushing a button[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] (I do know there is a Honda model out there with push button)

I suspect that a cord set could be made up that would allow removing the genset from a designated compartment on the RV and still allow it to be started from inside. Might be something of the best of both worlds really, able to control the unit from inside and still able to get the noise and vibration away from the rig. Probably a better idea for boondocking and not for camgrounds.
