It's easy to rationalize over sizing a generator but I tend to go on the light rather than heavy side, for the simple reason a smaller generator will be smaller and lighter to schelp around, easier to pull start and won't take as much fuel. So if you're not running AC, a microwave or a coffee maker a 1000W inverter unit will probably be more than enough and be a lot easier to deal with than a 2000W one. Another way to look at it is just live within the means of the smaller generator in the name of operating convenience. It doesn't take a long time to begin to understand load management when you have a finite source of power. You don't need to be running all the devices in your trailer all at the same time, so why have a generator big enough to do that.
