If you aren;t camping extremely far from the car/truck you could get a dual battery set-up on the car. Yeah it's 40lbs to lug to the tent each night, but you will get anywhere from 80-400ah. Several days at least running off a good inverter. When done it just goes back in the trunk and connects back...
