Honest question.
I kind of hate to sound like a Luddite here, but wouldn't be cleaner, safer and easier to just carry a little gas powered generator?
You would only need to run it when things got bad.

Yah. It’s a great idea and we actually do that. We picked up a little champion propane 2 KW inverter generator. Super quiet. Works well for battery charging. Not sure if it would work for the AC but really didn’t buy it for that.
Keep in mind Matt that I’m a retired geeky ex Air Force technician guy who likes to build stuff...just because. :). In my little mind I envision using my home brew hack if the trailer battery runs down during the night and I need enough power to get the heating system going. In the eyes of my wife I’ll be a hero and that’s all that matters. :). Next morning can run the generator for a couple hours and charge up the AGM’s.
Cheers. :).
