I know its over the top for a small travel trailer, but I actually have the budget to have some fun with it. We bought it 1/2 price and had the budget for a new one, so theres some room to play with ideas right now.
I'm thinking you are over-thinking the electrical part. There is little to add to what Time2roll said - get a pair of 2*6V or 2*12V, good CONverter, and go camping. See how it works for you. There isn't much need to buy AGM if they are not inside the trailer.
Skip solar and big INverter for now. On a few odd off-grid days you won't die without running a toaster or microwave.
Get a small 150w inverter for charging laptop and phone, it's cheap, MSW type is fine. Something like
This one.
No installation is needed, they usually come with cig lighter plug - and you should have 12V cig receptacle in trailer. When and IF you install big 2,000-3,000W inverter later, you'll keep small one as a spare.
Insulation is a big thing. At the factory they put fiberglass insulating "wool" in the walls with many bold spots.
Disclaimer: I do have solar and AGM. But I am almost always off-grid, and my batteries are kind of inside, in under-bed pass-through storage.
