It’s there a 120v actually to 72v dc adapter I can get to power the gem of a 120v generator?

Sure you can buy anything. 🙂  
How about an AC motor?  
Or possible a surplus dc unit to save the conversion.  
Better off with 240vac or even 3ph if you run a 15kw generator.

Hybrid would be a better option. 😉 Plug in your charger to a small generator.  
Might not need to trailer it then.
