too late for me--but someday!
Hi All, Well finally someone has figured out how to produce power from diodes at night! https://www.sciencealert.com/experiment-shows-we-can-actually-generate-electricity-from-the-coldness-of-sp...

They talk about waste heat from machenery.. There are many many ways to turn heat into electricity.. You have at least 3 devices that do just that in your RV more than likely.. One in each of the following: Furnace, Water heater, Fridge (Unless you have a residential fridge).
The flame sensor is a Thermocouple. it turns heat into electricity.
Another device: There are a number of companies that make little warmer/coolers. these usually run on 12 volts (Draw around 6 amps) and hold perhaps a six pack of soft drink.. Some are hard sided some soft (one is shaped like a mini fridge about 1/3 cubic foot) Described in this article on Thermoelectric cooling THey also generate electricity if one side is hot and the other cold.
