Your described usage is so low that you could simply install a single battery Group 27 or 31 and a single 100 watt panel and basic controller from Home Depot or from one of the online sellers (www.solarblvd.com) etc
and you would be well past covering your charging needs if there is any sun at all. A maxxair or fantastic fan if kept in one of the lower settings uses less than one amp of power, and LED lights use very little as well.
You likely could place the battery on the tongue and if your tow vehicle uses a 7 pin plug, let it charge the trailer on the days that you move, and on the days you dont, simply start the truck and then connect jumper cables to the trailer battery for a half hour and get whta you need.
