Looking for powerstation for my van needs to run x3 led lights and coolbox charge phone ideally last 2/3 days 
Power station recommendations

- Start date
A cool box would need a big power supply. At 12v a cool box would typically drawer around 100 Ah per day.
A few LED lights and a phone would be nothing in comparison.

I was thinking a 500w ish ?
500W seems on the high side. 500W would draw about 40A so a 100Ah battery would be empty in 2 hours.

Sorry I meant for power station

Presumably you mean a 500Wh (battery). If you’re more familiar with Ah, thats a 40Ah battery which is equivalent to about the smallest (lead acid) leisure battery fitted on MHs (typically 80Ah, only half of which is actually useable).
Typical coolbox power consumption is 50 Watts
So a 500 Watt Hour battery pack will power it fo 10 hours
A 80 Amp Hour car battery is approaching 1000 Watt Hours but only about half of that can be realised using it this way (it's a chemistry thing)

Ok I was going to use leisure battery and dc/dc charger but the portable side appeals to me as I use van for other things
My daughter runs a glamping company (though she’d hit me for calling it that) & she got given one of these power packs by a fellow exhibitor at a show. Looks like a nice piece of kit. Photos are ones I took of it last night. Looking on the website they cost £119 but I’m not sure if that includes the foldable solar charger.

Are you pleased with it I was thinking about the 800/1000w versions
Yes, mine works fine. I have an 80W solar panel too. I wouldn't use a cool box. I'd get an Alipcool (or similar) compressor fridge. Once they are at temperature they run for 5-8 minutes then off for 20 minutes or so dependant on the ambient temerature. Find one you like,then work out the power draw as per the examples above.
I have Bluetti EB70, bought new a couple of months ago son the remainder of the 5 year guarantee left, I've used it 3 times and its been great but I have bought a larger one just in case I need more power.
