At most truck stops and RV stores you can get little canvas bags with
gel-cells in them that provide a cigarette lighter style plug. Ive
got one. $30 included the battery, an AC charger, a double ended plug
to charge it off the car cigarrette lighter, and a battery operated
inflator/deflator which makes quick work of inflating the airmattress
at oshkosh.
