Get a 12vdc power supply to plug into your 120 outlet, and correctly wire the power supply output(s) into your 12vdc wiring.
When running on solar, simply unplug the power supply from the outlet.
Anything else, you run the risk of feeding a solar panel, or other 12vdc equipment a 120VAC charge.
Remember; You, yourself called it a "crazy idea".

The thing could work as long as you are always the one hooking it up but as soon as someone else comes along it will go wrong : probably dangerously so. I see DC stuff being fried by AC helpfully plugged in for you and it gets worse from there.

Just install a Zamp connector on the outside of your cabin and run the wires to the battery.

I wanted to avoid adding holes to the trailer, but you're right.
Thanks to all for the input!

Unfortunately I don't have a/c ports. I wanted them to possibly add a diesel or propex heater later on, but their supplier that makes the ports went kaput.
