I think the dry 12 KVA transformer might be the way to go.
You should be able to find a spot for it inside somewhere out of the
weather.

To mount it inside would require rewiring the internal shore power
circuits. Too big a hassel. Outside, you just run it inline with
your shore power cables and make a few inlet adapters for the various
kinds of euro connectors.


You can get them in a NEMA 3R (weather tight) enclosure. Just stow it
inside when you are not using it. It will still be a steel can.

I could probably make a weather proof box out of starboard that would
be cheaper, more attractive and more durable. Starboard is great
stuff and you can work it with ordinary tools.
