I do have a few options for you to power a cordless drill, lights, and coffee pot inside you enclosed travel trailer but using a solar panel would not be the best or most cost effective setup. Basically, you are going to end up having to cover the entire roof of your trailer to power the above items.

Instead, I recommend purchasing a 12 volt auxiliary battery like the one you would find in a car and then using a power inverter like part # WC3720 as well as a battery charger like part # 331-BCDC1240D. This would be the solution I recommend for you to power your enclosed travel trailer. Another option you may want to consider is a generator like part # 289-SUA2000I.

I have attached a review video of the power inverter, battery charger, and generator for you as well.
