If you go with 800AH of batteries scratch the Onan and buy a small portable just for back up charging.

I could certainly be wrong but from what I've read when you add weight to your trailer you can generally account for 20-25% of the added weight added to your original pin weight. So in this case if I had 1000lbs of cargo to my camper I'm upping my pin weight by 200-250lbs.
