 If you want to charge a laptop or run a CPAP, you can pick up [[https://amzn.to/2Lemg6j|a lithium "power station"]] and charge it when you stop for a sit-down meal, coffee, or anywhere else with an electrical recepticle.  This type of unit charges very well from an outlet, ok from solar, and poorly from a ciggy lighter socket unless you are driving.  The [[lifestyle:faq_solar_generator|fancier units]] get expensive quickly and are heavily driven by marketing.  At some point it will be cheaper to build [[electrical:12v:intro|a "real" power system]].
-A backpack and extension cord come in handy for recharging the power stations; you can put the battery in the backpack and run the extension plug to the wall.  No one needs to know you are charging a pack.  The key is to //charge every time you have the opportunity//.  Be relentless about power - you are responsible for every watt that goes in and out.
