Yes, solar charging is too good an option for the 12V system to not have some. The OP states 300W and 2 batteries worked great for him. That would certainly work for running the furnace for a couple of days. That means, on some trips, the generator and gas can will stay at home.
I'd suggest to find a worthy metal storage box that can be installed outside your home. With close proximity of neighbors, an OSHA approved box may be the best solution. If the OP has a cheap plastic gas can, replacement with Rotopax or gerry can should be on the list. Both of these cans have mounting brackets available so can be deployed on the exterior of the trailer and not be in the way of other stuff in the truck bed.
