i do the odd bit of camping and have a power source that should be able to keep phones and stuff charged up for 3-4 days, but in the event it needs charging, i figured i could just use my car as a generator, as fuel is cheaper than forking out for some solar setup (in the short term anyway).

its not like this would be a regular thing. probably once every 3-6 months, not every day or week or anything like that.

thanks for any info in this regard.

No problem at all.
