I was going to recommend something similar, there are lots of portable power stations like that (they are sometimes called "generators" by people that don't know what a generator is).

And they have the advantage of being portable, if if you're going out where you'll have power during the day, you can bring it along to recharge and take back to the RV with you at night. Or you might be able to plug it in at the campground office to recharge during the day.
