Welcome to the forum.

Is your Montana pre-wired for a generator--that would really simplify it. If not, it kind of comes down to whether you want it in the trailer itself or something you can carry in the truck. Most gens that come with a trailer are Onans--pretty pricey. Just had a friend get one for his new Open Range, but his trailer was pre-wired. $2800 for an almost new Onan 5500 and about $400 for the install and change oil/filters.

You will need at least 3000 Watts to run the AC, more if you want to run other large electrical draws at the same time.

Lots of people use 2 2000W Hondas and parallel them for 4K output, and they are light enough to pick up easily.
