Some sort of propane-powered co-generation setup for heating and electric power might be a good feature to optimize the energy-efficiency of the trailer. Heat recovered from a genset can be used to heat water for the shower and eventually also to power the fridge instead of using propane directly for that, considering that many fridges used in trailers operate thru a heat absorption principle instead of the compression of a gas like a home fridge.
