Only if you don't want to subject yourself or your camping neighbors to the equivalent of a lawnmower. Inverter generators are much quieter.
If you want to run the AC or the microwave, then a Honda 2000i or equivalent seems to do the job according to many people on this forum. Our Cool Cats are suitable for the low air volume in an A FRame and use a lot less power than the rooftop AC units on bigger campers. If you just want to top off the battery, then a Honda 1000i will do the trick. (But the price difference is not that big.)
I bought a Generac 800 watt which will not power the converter charging the battery at altitude, so stay away from low power generators. (anyone want to buy mine?)
You should acquaint yourself with the ins and outs of the camper electrics before making up your mind.
