That's because wattage / amperage equals voltage...
Conversely, wattage / voltage equals amperage...
3500 watts ÷120 volts = 29.1 amps
That's right at the ragged edge of being able to run everything in a 30-amp service trailer... I guarantee you, after a few uses, if you don't do proper maintenance, you're going to come up short...
Yes, a minimum 3500 watt run time will get you by... It will also wear out that generator a lot faster... Because it's running full load...
