Simple question for the 2 gem Tacoma owners, do you use your outlet in the bed to charge your camper bed while on the road?
 
No. It's inaccessible with the camper in place. My camper battery is charged by a CTEK dual (truck & solar) charger in the camper. The truck connection is direct from the battery, thru an 80-Amp fuse, 4-gauge wires and a big 120-Amp connector installed in the other wall of the truck bed at the front.

I did install a 120-Volt outlet in the cab, connected to the inverter output.

If you can overcome the inaccessibility-of-the-outlet problem, you could use the inverter to power a battery charger. But, in my Tacoma, the inverter is only good for 100 Watts.
