I spent a week in an RV “off grid” with the following solar setup to charge electronics and power electric blankets at night for warmth while sleeping:
Battery with three prong outlet plus USB charging ports:

NOTE: I paid $350 for that battery, but it looks like it is no longer sold. This one looks even better for $175: https://www.amazon.com/CHAFON-Upgraded-Generator-Rechargeable-Emergency/dp/B07142Z1XL/
Solar panel to recharge battery:

I paid $120 for the solar panel.
I don’t know if it is the cheapest solution, but it worked wonderfully and didn’t require ANY complicated integration, just plug together and done! If the solar panels did not keep up the charge, my backup plan was to run the generator built into the RV to charge up this battery, but it was never necessary!
This particular battery pack comes with an LED light, kind of a flashlight with a gigantic battery. I originally thought that was silly, but I ended up liking the feature for off grid living -> if you get up in the night and need a bit of light, toss the light switch and you can see what you are doing.
After my “off grid” camping trip, I turned the setup into a UPS for my computer, and it works great for that also. Plug the battery into a wall outlet, and computer into the battery, and when the power goes out, the computer still runs off of the battery for a few hours. I even used the solar panels to charge it back up during a 20 hour residential power outage a couple of weeks ago.
What I learned: normal computer UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) batteries are lead based which is heavy and clunky, and this battery pack is lithium ion so smaller and lighter. But lithium ion costs more for the weight savings.
