Short answer is no. You won't find a 12 volt battery that will do what you're asking for one time a year.
You have a few options. two 6 volts. I agree though that would be overkill for your situation. Is there enough room to mount two batteries?
Two 12 volts. Probably still overkill for one weekend a year. Is there enough room to mount two batteries?
Or bring a spare battery once a year and put it on the ground by the trailer tongue. Then use some jumper cables to hook the batteries together.
Solar might help. but for once a year it's probably not the best option.
2 six volt or two 12 volt batteries is basically the same price. But at that price range the 2 six volts store more usable power.
Another option, have you ever considered a small generator? This would probably only be cost effective if you have a need for the same generator at home when not camping.
