In the past have always managed to charge my electrical gadgets whilst camping by using 12v off the bike. Thinking of taking the laptop next time, so I wondered what other peeps here have been doing, and in particular are there any low weight/size options for linking up to the camp site supply. Don't plan to use any equipment which wiil have a heavy draw on the supply. I wondered about using a connector for the camp site end, a shortish length of cable and then a single socket with a residual leakage device plugged in, into which I could plug the recharging units. I'm a bit of a numpty as far as electrics is concerned so any advice would be very gratefully received, but if you could keep it fairly simple it would help at this end.
 
Simply wire up a car cigar lighter and use a cigar socket laptop charger rather than use a bulky inverter.
 
An Igo still gets my vote.

Charge any device, whether it's a PC, a phone, a camera, whatever and charge two devices at once. All from the mains (multi-voltage) or a 12v feed.

No more multiple tranformers to cart about.

I have used one (of the earlier models) for three years now. From China to America to Spain, no problems at all. Top bit of kit!

I took your advice and bought an i-go great bit of kit:thumb
 
Ram-man does something along the lines of the Igo.

Charges every electrical item you have from one unit.
