I decided to go simple and (EASY.) I ordered a Marinco RV adapter that has the waterproof cover that mounts to the trailer for $22, and also ordered a one to three 2ft cord that has built in GFCI for $34 that has 3 receivers on the end of it. I am only going to be needing minimum power. All I will have to do is plug in a heavy RV rated cord into the Marinco and plug into RV hookup at campsite. So simple it almost hurt. I will power a small AC unit (when needed) that will be tongue mounted, and led strip lights inside, and maybe a radio etc......
All ordered from Amazon. Marinco Part # 150BBI.RV and a good GFCI short cord with 3 plugs on the end. The male end will be cut off and wired to the Marinco. Whalla!!!!!!

Nice! Two quick questions though: the square sized hole that you cut into the side, is that for a power outlet? I never saw anything mounted there. And you do not have anything connected to the AC correct? Also, how do you calculate the watt hours? Is it simply that it can provide 570 watts for one hour or 57 watts for 10 hours (without the solar panel)? And for the solar panel is there any way to figure out how long it will take to recharge it once fully depleted? I'm assuming your 40 watts would take 570wh/40w = 14.25hours? I know that's a lot of questions but electricity is... far from my forte.
Seems like that would be a great resource for Eddie as he can just toss it inside when he's on the move and pull it out when he needs it. Nice lightweight option and an easy weekend project.
that was a close up of the front left for the speaker, I have all the math calculations somewhere on a thread here, let me look for it
