Then with a separate shore power source supply directly 240v AC.

You can buy a converter or a transformer that will step up 120 volts to 240. http://www.220-electronics.com/Transformers/trans/prod.html Keep in mind the converted amps/volts ,the wire size and fuse size required.

It would best to know if the wire is sized for 12 volt DC and/or 120 volt AC?
