Hi

Im planning on touring a bit once lockdown is finished. I will be camping (tent) but driving between locations. Id like to get a solar panel unit, mainly for phone / tablet type charging. Any suggestions?

Budget up to about £250

If everything you are intending to charge is USB compatible then you can use a USB solar panel.
This includes phones, tablets, Kindles and (with adapters) 18650 Li Ion batteries, AA and AAA batteries.

Something like this could do it for you: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20W-Portable-Solar-Panel-Folding-Power-Charger-USB-Camp........

You should use a battery bank to charge during the day on the roof of your car or beside your tent: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Portable-500000mAh-External-Power-Bank-Pack-3USB-Batter........

Items shown are typical and not recommendations, you'll need appropriate USB cables and adapters.
