What are you charging? Cell phones and tablets for example only need 5V USB, so something like this adapter and your favorite USB cables is a cleaner solution. Seem silly to convert 12V DC (car or RV house battery) 110V or 220V AC just to get it back down to 5V DC.

Laptops can be a little trickier, but there are DC->DC adapters available for most.
