newbie electrically challenged question

I am realizing that while on the road there is no power to the outlets. We have a new to us 1988 Ford Tioga, and was hoping that we could charge a laptop, cell phone ect while on the road. Is there any way to do this? Need to keep my wife working on vacation....

The outlets are 120V AC powered when you are hooked up to power pedestal, a generator or an on-board 'inverter'

Easiest solution is a stand alone 'inverter' that plugs into cigar lighter/power port of vehicle.

Here is one that sits in a cup holder......it's 150 watts and has AC outlets & USB ports $27
