Hey Niel,
The part you were looking at, # PD4575K18LS8 is a coverter/charger which turns AC power into DC power while something like an inverter # 34275013 is going to turn DC power into AC. Your camper most likely already has a converter from the factory, but for an inverter to use 110v outlets when off grid with no shore power.
There really is not a way to know exactly what is needed without figuring out what size you need. Typically you need to figure out the total wattage used in your trailer to correctly size an inverter that will be capable of handling that wattage. If you take your appliances and everything and add them together to see how much wattage you need I can better locate the part you need.
