Which? Power Bank

I've done a search already and read several (some very detailed) discussions on the use of Power Banks.

Mine is a more straightforward query than most - I am interested in hearing any views/recommendations on specific models for relatively light use (in terms of time especially, mostly one or two overnights).

I'm looking favourably on the Jackery 1000 Pro as it has a fairly short recharge time (I know this is based on mains charging, not the van 12v socket).

Main use will be for overnight/ 2 day trips when I need to recharge phone, camera batteries, drone batteries, laptop etc. The van I'm getting does have a leisure battery but I've no experience of these and so I'm not sure how adequate that will be on its own.

I don't get my van until the New Year but with Black Friday week here I'm thinking now would be a good time to buy.

Thanks.
 
Cheers for the reply John. How do you find it overall? How does the solar work on cloudy days? I've seen a few packages that include panels but wasn't sure about them.
 
I have the Jackery 1000 explorer which I bought last year brand new off eBay for £567 I run my Alpicool TW35 fridge freezer and my CPAP machine off it and with 200 watt of solar to charge it.
I bought 2 of these panels at £169 each but a lot cheaper now.

Hi John

How long do you think it will run your fridge for. I’m contemplating one of these but no sure it’ll last long enough for a weekend?

What do you think. Do you have the solar connected all of the time to keep it boosted

During day light hours in summer I had the panels connected to the jackery when fully charged I coupled the panels to my victron controller also my fridge has a built in lithium battery which can run between 6 and 10 hrs also runs off solar.
