You should also consider having a generator. Depending on where it is relative to the possible battery charging locations, it may wind up being less work. We've gone with solar for our trailer power (which mostly runs lights and charges batteries), but then we have ten to eleven hours of daylight at our latitude during build season; your latitude may vary.
Edit, after re-reading OP and response:
