Inverter
Phil,
A 2000 watt inverter will draw nearly 200 amps from your house battery. You will need 500or 600 amp hours of batteries to do anything worthwhile with the inverter. Your trailer came with a single battery of about 120 amp hours or so. Since you should not discharge the battery below 50% if you want it to last, that gives you about 50 AH. At 2,000 watts that works out to about 15 minutes of bliss---followed by hours of darkness.
I too looked into the practicality of this and determined that a genset is a better option overall. The Honda 2000i weighs about 45lb and a 56dbA sound level @10 ft. You might consider a small (300w) inverter which would allow you to power a few small 120V items without breaking the (battery) bank.
A 12Volt TV is another good power saving option.
