Running the Honda generators in tandem effectively doubles the available amperage/wattage. This configuration is typically used to start/run the A//C for the TT.
A single Honda 2k generator would not produce the required amperage to start the A/C individually.
Batteries are simply storage devices. The more amps you can store, the longer or more 12v accessories you can run. 2 batteries in parallel will effectively double the storage capacity. It would not "strengthen" them, just more storage.
Connecting the 2 batteries in series would double the voltage output. This is usually done with 6vdc batteries to provide the 12vdc used by the TT. It does not increase the total amp hours of storage provided by a single 6vdc battery.
