Expert Reply:
Since you're not running too much, you're just going to need to mount a dedicated 12V battery inside your trailer. You'll then be able to connect your fan and hook up your lights using the wire # 12-1-1 and the ring terminals # 44-5310A for each light.
I also recommend hooking your battery up to your trailer's 7-way using the junction box # 38656 which will then maintain the battery on-board while hooked up.
If you plan on being not connected for a while, I'd suggest getting a battery charger # CTEK56353 to make sure your battery does not die.
