I am not a big fan of using the cigarette light type 12VDC sockets. The 12VDC socket you are using is really for the OTA antenna setup and if you end up melting down things there the OTA antenna preamp will not function anymore...
What alot of folks do is get a larger PURE SINE WAVE Inverter from 300WATT to 600WATTS and connect this Inverter directly to your battery terminals. Haven't looked up what trailer you are running but the pass thru storage area is usually next to the front wall of the trailer and this is an excellent spot to mount the PSW INVERTER. I use a 600WATT PSW Inverter in my setup.
I run two extension cords from the Inverter with one going to the home entertainment area and the other going back to the bedroom night stand area. This gives me multiple 120VAC receptacle ports to run all kinds of low wattage 120VAC items like the HDTV, CD Player, all of my cell phone and computer chargers, and alot of other most often used 120VAC appliances when I am camping off the power grid. My Inverter is remote controlled but I leave it on all the time when I am camping.
I made up this floorplan of a typical TT Trailer showing where the PSW INVERTER could be mounted... This might fit your always ON 120VAC service requirements just fine...
