[QUOTE="gvee, post: 627413, member: 14750"] I have something similar to this that I used in my travels before I had my bus: https://www.halfords.com/tools/garage-workshop/inverters/12v-150w-inverter-with-2a-usb-338092.html If something can run off 12V, run it off 12V. With the laptop, and this might seem daft, don't leave it charging. In fact, don't use it while it's plugged in (it has its own battery after all!) and remember to unplug it once it is charged (even once full it will continue to draw power). As for phone charging - they don't need 12V (most are 3.1-5V from memory) so a 3-pin plug is overkill. Those 12V socket USB things do a perfectly good job of charging phones in my experience.
