I'd just use it to keep battery up when I'm gone on a day trip. Around here you have to use a generator to run the AC if you are going to use it in summer. On my current trailer all the battery does is keep the fridge running, water pump and heater going. If I had kept it I was going to get a inverter and wire it in so I could have a dedicated plug that would run a tv for,short periods. Other than charging the battery I can't see a great benefit as none of the outlets work when not in shore power.
