   For $300-400 you can get those smaller (~2,000-4,000 watts) portable   
   generators that are easy to handle, can be used for other things too,   
   and would charge up the batteries whenever you needed it.  The money you   
   would spend having someone setting all the stuff up with the heavier   
   wire and plug-ins could easily go over what one of those cost, and if   
   your batteries go down while you're camping you have to hook back up to   
   the truck again.  Just hook a small charger up to it and you're good.   
   They're quiet and lost a long, long time on a tank of fuel.
