Gadget:Electrolysis Unit

I just recently spent a few hours with my Dad (retired) at a lake in texas.
He had his travel trailer and I drove up in my semi.

It's a pretty nice Travel Trailer. A pretty much self contained 27 ft. fifth
wheel that he pulls with a 3/4 ton pickup. It's complete with cooking and
bathing facilities.

Which got me to wondering as I drove along afterwards.

Is it possible to build a small, inexpensive solar powered electrolysis unit
tht would take water (say...from his holding tank) split the water into H2
and O....and store the H2 for use as a cooking gas in his stove, to run his
refrigerator...and as fuel for his heater.

Could such a unit be built inexpensively enough such that it would make sense
to purchase it as opposed to the propane which he currently uses...(a little
over a dollar a gallon....dual seven gallon tanks being good for not quiet a
month....)

Hmmmmm....now if THAT is possible...what about a Hydrogen fueled..fuel cell
powered semi?
