I'm not surprised because it has been proven that the Powerboost will output while driving. Although I don't see any reason to have a camper plugged in while driving.
Occasionally it would be good to run 110 to the trailer while driving. My big question was being able to run 110 to the trailer while charging. Many campgrounds only have a single outlet. Often it would be good to charge overnight while powering the trailer.

I understand that.
One thing to note if you want to charge the truck from the campsite and then run the camper from the truck is that you are going to want to have a 50amp hookup. That is a 220v outlet where a 30amp RV connection is only 110 and will NOT charge the truck in a weekend even without anything using part of the battery power.

I don't know much about the camping hookups. However a 120v at 30 amps generates 3.6kw. that will fully charge the 125kwh battery from dead to 100% in 35h(of course it won't be dead but just for calculating sake. 28 hours if at 20%). If truck remains parked and plugged in it will easily fully charge in a weekend with no load with many hours to spare.
