A solution that seems much simpler & less expensive to me:
Install a couple of 12V outlets, get a couple of small portable inverters with AC outlets & USB outlets, and plug the small inverters into the 12V outlets. Use the inverters to charge your electronics & watch TV.
Having been through this exercise myself recently I'd have to disagree that running additional wiring throughout the trailer is "simpler" when all the wiring one needs is already in place in the form of the trailer's 120 vac wiring. Install an inverter of any size near the battery (or batteries) and simply plug the trailer's main service cable into the inverter - done, and within the limits of the inverter, battery supply, and inverter input wiring the inverter will power the entire trailer just as if it were plugged into shore power, with no additional modifications to the trailer required at all. Nothing could be "simpler" than that. :)
