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.

But starboard might not take dropping as well as steel.

Steel will rust out pretty quickly around the salt tho if you are not
very diligent with the paint.
