Power from an RV post is typically referred to as 'shore power'. This instructible is about adding shore power to a vehicle, however he doesn't add an inverter to connect it up to his car battery. If you took one of the power lines and ran it to an ac to dc inverter you could then run it to charge the car battery. You could also add in a deep cycle marine battery to store power when no shore power is available. You would want to add the battery in the circuit so it's before the internal power plugs.

For the longest while, I was bitten by the Car Audio bug. I used to to run a 900 watt inverter in my Camry, with two 7 inch LED screens and a 1500 watts of amplifiers.
When I first started, I'd get an hour or two before the low voltage warning, but this was on the vehicle battery which was at that point several years old.
Later, I added a trunk mounted second battery with an isolator, which ran all of the auxiliary electronics when the engine wasn't running. With a fresh deep cycle battery, I'd get 4 or 5 hours before the warning.
A sealed lead acid battery can still leak, especially if you overcharge it. For what you want, it sounds like you want a Deep Cycle AGM battery, like an Optima Blue Top. Clearly the battery isn't going to be cheap, so don't skimp on the charger either. A bad charger will kill your new $200+ battery faster than anything else.
