I would recommend buying an AGM battery and inverter instead of the Jackery unless portability is an absolute must. For roughly the same price of the Jackery 500 watt kit (500 watt hour power station, 2 solar panels), you could have a 200ah AGM battery (2400 watt hours) a 2000w inverter and 3 100w solar panels.

If you have the time and knowledge, I really recommend building an electrical system from parts as opposed to buying a self contained power unit for a few reasons. First, with separate parts, if one breaks, you can easily replace just that part. Second, wiring a system directly to the vehicle's charging system gives you much faster charging than the very small charging plugs that come with the self contained units. Lastly, having a system broken into multiple parts allows you to find places to tuck each one into a small vehicle like the TC as opposed to having one giant unit you have to find a place for.

 

Only downside is that you can't really remove it and use it outside of the vehicle.
