Thanks guys, after mulling over the feedback I'm leaning towards installing a 110v outlet on the overhang of my Hawk with a pigtail plugged into the inverter directly inside. This will eliminate an "extension cord" to the front, and give me a convenient spot to plug in the bike charger while in camp.

I looked at 1000w inverters by Victron 800va and Renogy 1000w which is a hundred bucks cheaper and includes #4 cables x 36". The cables should be less than 18" long when I mount the inverter against the front wall of the camper. The Renogy unit is an inch thinner and inch and a half more narrow, with two outlets compared to one outlet on the more expensive but nice Victron. As noted I have a Victron DC-DC charger and battery monitor. I'm not sure why I would need another device on my phone app.
I've decided against charging the bike while driving and instead plan to recharge from my modest 100ah house battery. I probably won't recharge the 700w/42v bike battery very often, maybe every three or four days, pulling down my 100a/12v battery.
I'm estimating it will cost me 8-12ah, but then we'll probably drive somewhere and replenish the camper battery with our DC/DC 30a charger. Instead of charging the bike while driving (risk of wet, wind resistance), I'll use the house battery as a reservoir to be replenished by my truck electrical system.
Maybe there's a more elegant way to get this done. I haven't even seen the bike or the charger yet.
