I just wired up a 750 watt inverter and ran wire into the trailer for a dedicated inverter plug so I could power the TV and DVD player off the batterys but see no since in using it to charge phones, besides I leave the wall plugs at home and have chargers in the truck for phones so its easy to grab a charger out of the truck and use it in the trailer.
Yes, you can use 12V chargers for cell phones, this would require enough cig lighter receptacles for all your 12V chargers. Normally there is only one such receptacle, while 110V receptacles are all over.
Or you can charge your cell phones off the same 110V inverter plug that you use for TV/DVD, or another 110V plug in parallel. Get a few spare wall warts, second hand stores will have those for $2. Low-wattage inverters don't - usually - need a lot pf power for their own circuitry, so it won't make much difference from using 12V chargers.
