Lots of possibilities for 12V backup. An extension cord, using only two wires, to extend the tow vehicle outlet to the trailer plug, connecting only to 12V+ and ground. We carry a 12V powerpack, the kind that will jump start a battery, supply 12 volts, and is also an air compressor. Another idea is a simple jumper cable, say 15 ft long, and 10 or 12 ga wire, as a jump for the trailer battery. One end could even be a cigar lighter plug. And some gens have a 12 volt output as well. You've hit on a crucial point. Except for microwave and AC, these things run on 12 volts.
