RE: Where to start
This place is a great wealth of information. But it would help if you knew what brand of TT you're looking to restore. Some brands, such as Airstream, have almost a "cult following". ;-) Consequently, parts, pictures, and ideas are easy to find. If you find a brand X, might have a harder time finding as many resources, but at least the appliances tend to be fairly common.
Before you buy anything you find, I recommend spending a couple of hours searching google for parts/accessories/support forums/etc for that specific brand.

RE: Generator to run A/C
For a 13,500 BTU A/C unit, the minimum size should be the Yamaha EF2400iS (or the new HC version). I've had no problems running my A/C for the past 5 years with mine.
Video of mine running the A/C at a rest stop: http://www.youtube.com/embed/BX6CDfywVVI
After talking with a few people, this generator is too small to run a 15K A/C unit. So are many 3KW generators. A 3.5KW-4KW looks to be the right size, but "I" haven't tested it myself, take it with a grain of salt.
The big plus about staying with a 13,500 BTU A/C unit is the much lower startup current. Consequently, it can be run with a 70 lb 2.4KW Yamaha. A slightly larger 15K A/C unit requires at least a 3KW generator, which are ~140 lbs (Honda or Yamaha).
Here's the testing I've done with mine: http://www.2manytoyz.com/yamaha2400.html
