Using a small Inverter
My skill with electricity and electronics are limited but I had an idea and am not sure if this is a good idea. I have an inverter in my trunk not doing much, that I was given for Christmas a few yea...

Once you start using this emergency power source it becomes a very necessary item to have around - believe me hehe...
Get a smaller RV :)... People in truck campers don't have a room for "entertainment" other than standard 12V CD/radio or a small 12V TV, and there are no multiple 110V kitchen devices, so they can get way with 175W inverter.
I could too, for a while, in my trailer. Don't need 1500W microwave, don't need 1000W hair drier. But a rechargeable vacuum, although more power than 12V plug-in models, is annoyingly inefficient when you live there for more than a month. Since I'm not using a generator, a small 600W Shop-Vac will eventually force me to upgrade to 1000W inverter. There is no urgency, though. Whatever vacuum leaves out, old broom picks up nicely :).
