As I see it, in order to provide the power needed for the Starlink system (110V for modem), a few options ...
- shore power to t@g
- generator
- power from truck's 100V
Other viable options?
- a reasonable battery and ac option?

    Is 110VAC really required for the modem? Or is there a transformer to to provide some flavor of DC to the modem? If so, there's probably a more efficient way to power the modem with the camper's 12VDC system.

    As far as I understand, Starling for an RV consumes a lot of power. On average 50-60 watts and peaking over 100 watts at times. If one was to convert Starlink to a 12-volt system, I would believe you may see a power need decrease of 20-35%.
    Below is an article that I noted on converting a Starlink internet system for use on a boat with DC power source.
    Do you really need internet access or just want it? 
    Best of luck whatever decision you make.
