I do have a 12V 6A charger that I power from a 400W inverter that I use from my tow vehicle power outlet (cig lighter) and top off the batteries every couple of days.
Running a battery charger through an inverter is very inefficient. Stepping the voltage up to 120 through the inverter, then converting it back to 12 volts is a net loss, aside from "robbing Peter to pay Paul"
by charging your RV batteries from the tow rig battery through an inverter then to a charger.
