Using Tesla cig socket as power source to charge RV battery

I have a Tesla and would like to use the cig socket to charge my RV battery. The socket gives 15.5 volts and 12 amps continuous output. Is there a Victron product that I could use in the scenario?

why would you want to do that...?

your RV surely has solar or is parked near a electric outlet.

Canadian parks are usually deep in the forest so solar is difficult. Some of the best camps sites do not have electricity.

That's not much power. Victron has the Orion DC-DC charger but it's a little too much power for the socket.

Thanks Kevin, I was afraid of that. I think that a’ll actually go with a power station from Bluetti or Ecoflow. I can recharge it overnight form the Tesla, and use it during the day

I think I saw somewhere that you can buy an inverter that plugs in to your Tesla charging socket to give you a AC power outlet.
