couple, us we him her.

For camping powerful enough for all the usual when needed.

Phone charge, lights laptops etc but maybe enough punch to power a low voltage induction hob.

Looked at the Jakery but they well expensive.

You really need to work out your useage to know what size pier bank you need. As soon as you add an induction hob in the mix you will be needing a much larger unit.

It's not going to be cheap as batteries are expensive and anything that is cheap/Chinese knock offs won't be any good.

Ecoflow make a jackery equivalent which I've heard good reviews on.

Best bet is to get on YouTube and watch some review videos from people that are using them.

If it's for a van, go down the solar route. I have 2 leisure batteries and a fixed solar panel on the roof which is good enough for a fridge, fan and all my charging needs.

We don't take a laptop,as for induction hob we haven't got one yet but they are far safer than gas hobs and cleaner, besides what's wrong with using a cooking source that if we get a solar powered power bank we are able to use clean free energy to cook nothing more outdoorsy and friendly than that.

And not all campsites have available electric hook-up for tents.

Gives us the ability to enjoy camping and use modern technology to enhance the experience.

Each to their own. Been using petrol stoves for nearly 40 years and still not blown myself up yet lol. For me using basic stuff enhances my camping experience and if there’s no electric hook up it’s even better.

Clean energy? I think you need to research lithium batteries if you think it's a clean energy.
