On the subject of camping gear we want to start going again soon with the two kids, got a nice big new tent.
But I'm wanting something to give us power, top of my list so far is the DJI Power 1000 Mini anything else to consider. The DJI looks like it could be very useful for all sorts of things.

I've got one of these , had it about a year.. works really well. similar size and weight as the DJI Power 1000 Mini but £30 cheaper and outputs 1500w max instead of 1000w max on the DJI.

Is that one correct and it comes with a solar panel as well?

The unit its self is £419 currently, with 1x 100w panel its £569, with 1x 200w panel £729. I've not got any solar panels for it so can't comment on how good they are, I use it if we go camping in a tent, it'll happily last 4-5 days charging 2 ipads, 2 phones and powering an electric hob a few times a day amongst other things. Also used as a backup power for motorhome if off-grid, came in handy several times.

I did briefly consider getting some kind of 'power station' as felt it would reduce my worry of running out of power for my phone or work laptop and was looking at some of the refurbed ecoflow models but got a bit lost in the many options between companies offering similar devices.
Also so now since I can't help myself I'm having a look at various 2nd hand places for tents to try as the banshee 200 was never my initial choice, and since I got it 2nd hand in theory wouldn't really lose money (hopefully) if I were to get another and replace it.
I've accepted that I'll have a smaller tent just for me for now and then can get another suitable for 2 people plus dog later. So any suggestions for specific 1.5/2 person tents to try to keep an eye out for? Wouldn't mind something either lighter/smaller for easier packing or with bigger head height.

I've had a series of Power Stations, I'm now using an Anker Solix C2000 + 400w of solar panel. Do your sums before buying any as things take a LOT more power to run than you think.
A typical coolbox will use roughly 60w and run flat out in a tent in summer so will flatten a 1000w power station in 16 hours (ish)
