I'm in the early stages of planning a motocamping trip that

Dude, you're *riding* a generator.

Yes, some knives in the drawer are not very sharp!

Get a 12v DC to 240v AC inverter for your car.

Then get a moderately large solar panel, bolt it to your roof and wire it into your car battery so you can't do something stupid like run it flat at the bottom of a hill in the middle of nowhere. The panel will trickle charge the battery.

That corner of the panel in the shade is triggering my autism

Motomaster Eliminator (pic related) + power inverter. The Eliminator is a battery in a box with enough circuitry to plug in your laptop/dslr charger, and also jump-start your car. Charge it using the inverter while the engine is running or when you find a handy power outlet.

Scratch the inverter, you can charge those things straight from the 12v plug in your car.

Did you guys even read my post? I'm going motocamping as in on a motorcycle. The batteries on pretty much all motorbikes are tiny and drain in no time at all.

Thanks.

I would love to take something like this but no room on a bike obviously.

There is such a thing as heated riding gear which is intended to plug into your motorcycle's power system to keep you warm while riding, so I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss your bike as a power source. At the least, you could set up your laptop to charge while you're riding.

Never heard of it. How long will you be out for? Will you have a chance to plug into a regular grid occasionally? What voltage does your laptop/DSLR charge at? Will the area you'll be in have enough sunlight to make solar worth it? How about wind? How about micro-hydro? Is there enough output from your alternator to charge something while you ride? What kind of weight/space restrictions do you have?

Spend some money on an upgraded stator/reg-rect. Or pull it apart and wind it yourself, filling the poles.

I got another 20-30 watts out of rewinding mine (brings me up to ~100W total). >Pic related. Battery charges faster, and I can run heated grips along with the headlight.

If you have (or can install) a 3-phase stator, that's going to give you significantly more power since the conversion from 3Φ to DC is a lot more efficient.

Portable solar sufficient to charge a laptop in a reasonable amount of time does exist but is huge and expensive (see your pic)

Just charge it from your car
