I'm really happy with the LiFePo4 bank I built for my TC and now I realize I need a portable battery bank to run laptops and a fan in a tent which is used as an office.

It should be fairly light. I should be able to plug it into my truck camper's DC system to charge it.(may require adding ports to the truck camper) and I should be able to plug at least 3 AC devices into it and perhaps some DC devices, like phones and tablets. I should be able to charge devices for about 5 hours. I'm thinking the form factor might be about the size of a small toolbox, if possible. The smaller, the better.

I'm asking for suggestions. If you wanted to do this, how would you do it?
 
see lithiumsolar's "diy solar generator" build on youtube (and its followup), it's a great blueprint for any type of those builds.

jehu garcia did one using one type of phone batteries
