Something I have thought about for people that leave trailer while touring with TV; Add a deep cycle battery large enough to handle overnight loads to the the TV. Leave a battery bank on trailer, but the total of the 2 banks could be smaller than needed for the total stay. After a day of driving return to site with full charge in 1 bank. Turn off the trailer, plug TV in. Next morning, the battery on TV will need charge, but the trailer bank ready to carry thru the day. In theroy, loads when nobody home should be limited.
I have done this very thing and it works great. At times I've even just used the trucks own eng battery's and that worked good too. (No, I don't give a rats ars about shortening their lives.)
I also carry a lithium power station that I charge off an inverter in the truck and use that to run my TV.
